Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
带着昭和老套又优雅的劲儿，可以跟《今夜在浪漫剧场》搭配食用。
如果作为百年纪念不够松竹，也不够“电影”，当导演总结作不错😂其实电影剧情上逻辑缺口也不少，还是我过于期待了😂
人还是要有梦想的，万一实现了呢！ 吗的，每次北影节看山田洋次的，都能看哭。
91岁的山田洋次导演还是非常了不起的，《电影之神》也是，与之相比，张艺谋导演的《一秒钟》那样的电影几乎可以忽略不计，原因可能在于，后者似乎永远停留在最基本，甚至是原始的精神状态与追求上。
3.5 其实并没有那么好，但依然被某种真挚表达的东西打动。就好像生活里你见到不那么会表达的人，甚至表达的东西本身也没什么稀奇，但依旧会被他的真挚纯粹感动到一样。大概是被真诚本身感动到吧？
看到最后真是无尽的感动，这部电影拍的算是一种情怀，死在电影中，也算是一种幸福吧……如果电影之神真的存在，请继续守护我们吧！
三个人的情感，感觉就像电影人和影迷以及影院的关系，老电影和现在的电影也断代了，就像你不知道淑子为什么那么放不下他，可能就像影迷一样，见证了那个电影辉煌的年代。里面的剧本真的不是《开罗紫玫瑰》吗，最后的结局倒是和《电影天地》差不多。
（电影里边都在揶揄哪些导演呢... 对日影史不太熟辽
“And for all the ones who were lost…”（me）
致敬松竹一百年，只选一部电影的话，山田洋次选了东京物语
7+0.5
91岁高龄，当之无愧现今日本的电影之神。
有佳句无佳章，走情怀路线的迷影题材，现实的颓唐与往昔的理想主义制造落差，一是为了引出大片场时代的闪回，进而展现特殊年代电影制作的风貌，二是为了刻画人物的反差来引发温情的效应，但是几条人物线和故事线之间的整合做得马马虎虎，有强烈的割裂感，虽然融入了很多致敬环节，像是打破影像次元结界的联动这些迷影幻想，会让影迷们感叹不已，但是并未能形成有机的统一，疫情时代的故事背景又显得多余，所以空有迷影埋梗、自传性质的致敬等元素，是撑不起来一部佳作的。
关于大船制片所，古书堂第一部也有提到过。
30/8/2021 @ 英皇iSquare [summeriff]。算是近年山田洋次的失手之作吧。雖然好幾段有被感動到，但老實說年輕組和現代組兩段的割裂感太大了，而且真的談到電影有關的情節比想像中少。個人覺得尾段用自己方式去講Save the Cinema，可能才是山田洋次在經過後疫情時代最想拍的東西吧。
剧本《电影之神》又名《开罗紫玫瑰》，影像平庸，可取之处是在电影中死去的浪漫
三星半。大荧幕还是容易感动，女儿读信的时候看哭了，但故事本身三星吧。现在反刍了一下，最近很需要这种情怀，人有时候要放下，有时候又需要一些傻乎乎的坚持。
电影中，孙子给“银幕电影院”设计主页；电影外，影片官网主页就是电影里那个。
咩酱太可爱了，冏子也很美，希望老爷子健健康康拍多几部……
配乐真的是很赞，故事又那么动情，温馨浪漫。
