Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Jorge Borrani-Valdes I saw this movie by chance on a cable channel so i had no previous info about it. That's nice because there are no expectations, and the story kinda flows that way, it seems to be, at the beginning, a movie about a dying man, father of the central family and some trouble about money starts to pop, but the delusions of the sick father then begin to take importance, an enigma is brought to the ongoing lives of the family. Then movie starts turning around as some truths come up and finally a very unexpected ending. Thought it is a very slow an moody picture it has a nice rhythm, novelesque type. Acting is good specially by the leading roles (The father (Max) and his son (Victor). Music's really good and adequate for each scene. Some of this actors appear in some Almodovar films so it's a good casting i guess.

Keith F. Hatcher Some things sneak up virtually unannounced, such that when the result is far more satisfying than one might erstwhile have presupposed, the surprise is even more gratifying. Such is the case with this Argentinian-Spanish co-production, mostly filmed in Paris. On seeing the IMDb voting average my reaction was something like: `ya veremos..........'.Good interpretations by all the cast, especially by Fernando Fernán Gómez and Leonardo Sbaraglia, hold the spectator, and the film grows on you as the events unfold, admirably helped along by Víctor Reyes' music, from soft and melancholic to tense and rhythmic patterns a little in the style of Philip Glass.The old man is dying in a Parisian hospital and all the family gather around him; the youngest son, Víctor comes all the way from Argentina with his girl-friend. But it is he who begins to unravel mysteries of the past, as the old man´s mind seems to be locked on events of forty years ago.Well built-up story line, moving with logical ease from scene to scene with good characterization all round. The denouément seemed unnecessarily stretched; it could - should - have finished on the benches of the railway station; the ensuing brief scene rounding off the film is as foreseeable as unnecessary, and added nothing to what had already been stated.Geraldine Chaplin does not usually go too well with me, and so it is in this film; I think it is that ever-present British accent speaking Spanish that annoys me a little; perhaps this is only a little mania of mine, as my own accent speaking Spanish is no better!Highly recommendable film for those who look for real drama without over-the-top interpretations ` a la Hollywood' and can concentrate on the dialogues and development of a nicely filmed and told story.

Jully_Brasil I saw "En la ciudad sin límites" a couple of months ago in the Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival and I left the movie theatre with mixed feelings about it...I mean, the story is very interesting and interestingly told and all the actors are very well (gotta love Geraldine Chaplin and a very hot and talented Leo Sbaraglia), but hey, nothing in life is perfect, right?The movie begins with Sbaraglia's character, Victor, re-joining his family in Europe after years of reclusion in Argentina. His father Max (Fernando Fernán Gómez, superb) is dying - and losing his mind-, so the three sons and their mom Marie (Chaplin) have to decide what to do with the family business. It doesn't take too long, though, for Victor to find out that Max's so-called delusions are based on secrets buried in his past, so the estranged son embarks on a desperate journey to uncover the whole story to allow his father to die in peace - even if it means he has to go against the rest of the family.SOUNDS good? Well, not actually..."En la ciudad sin límites"'s score might be one of, if not THE worst in the history of moviemaking. Seriously, it exaggerates the moods, creates (or at least tries to create) emotions which are totally different from the ones the images and script pass...a total disaster. But if you can get past that, you won't be disappointed, given that the subplots are also very very interesting and the ending, though not entirely unpredictable, fits like a glove the critic to the traditional, high society.I saw "Les invasions barbares" ("The barbarian invasions") a few weeks after "En la ciudad sin límites" and the two have lots of similarities, though the Canadian film exchanges the suspense/mystery factor for a political tone. I know a lot of people will want to kill me, but if it wasn't for the terrible music, I'd say the Spanish movie's better, 'cos quite frankly I don't know what's all the fuss about "Invasions", seriously. I'm 21, but a friend of mine who's the same age thought it was amazing and, on the other hand, my mom, who's 47, didn't think much of it - that proves it has nothing to do with age. I don't know, for me, it just didn't bring anything new...but I shouldn't be talking about it here...Well, anyway, I say go see "En la ciudad sin límites" if you have a chance. I gave it a 7 out of 10 because of the score, but the movie itself is a solid 8 or even a 9. Two thumbs up.

abisio A rich Spanish man is treated for a brain tumor in a Paris hospital . His family around him, fighting for the inheritance (and mutually betraying). The old man seems to have lost contact with reality, but his elder son noticing that he still has some consciousness, tries to establish a communication with him, even when that implies to get into his father madness and discover secrets nobody wants to surface.The movie is an exercise in suspense. Perfectly orchestrated situations, make you feel nervous about simple things as a walk in the hall (trying to get out of the hospital). Or make the bad guy out of a worried mother. This is just a family story with an old mystery. It is so simple that similar things happen every day but with an incredible craftsmanship was converted in a thriller.Yes, it is a thriller and a mystery. It has all the elements you usually expect; sex, betrayal, lies. No, is not what you expect. The story is clever but realistic. The violence is replaced with poetry, and as in real life, lots of things happen but few are really resolved.
