Exhausted

Exhausted

Few if any films I've seen in my life have been as painfully disturbing as this one, even "Salò" seems sweet and gentle in comparision. "Exhaustion" is a convincing study of psychological disorders and human destructiveness which actually benefits from its smudgy low-budget esthetics and features three haunting acting performances. Despite its evident qualities I doubt that I will sit through it a second time though.

Yeah, before the days of ADSL/Cable connections I used to get my DVDs from bootleg sellers, and the only foreign cinema I could usually get hold of were Asian horror and action/martial arts films. So like you I used to watch a lot of the Korean/Japanese horror, but how my tastes have changed since then :D I've got a few Kurosawa films, so I'll try to watch those soon. I've seen him listed on the contemplative cinema blog. Thanks for the other suggestions, I've only seen Visitor of a Museum and like you said, although not technically a horror, films like that are far more effective in the impact they have on the mind and senses, and are more unsettling than traditional horrors. I remember Visitor being a very dark, bleak, and difficult film to watch!

Yesterday Girl

The international English title is rather misleading, and “Farewell Yesterday” would be a more appropiate translation, since Kluge not only refers to his female protagonist saying goodbye to freedom…  read review
