New York está en plena agitación, la era del capitalismo se acerca a su fin. Eric Packer, un chico de oro de las altas finanzas se mete en una limusina blanca.

A medida que pasa el día, el caos se instala, y el observa sin poder hacer nada como su imperio se colapsa. Además está seguro de que alguien va a asesinarle. ¿Cuándo? ¿Dónde? Está a punto a vivir las veinticuatro horas más decisivas de su vida. (Vértigo Films Esp.)

español In Time para intelectuales. Una crítica del capitalismo difícil de digerir para el espectador, llena de diálogos incomprensibles, la mayoría de los cuales ni siquiera deben decirnos algo significativo, solo deben llevarnos a un mundo cinematográfico que nunca antes habíamos visto. Después de Crash, David intenta defender el puesto de director, que rodará lo que no se puede rodar. Un viaje palpitante con una atmósfera inquietante, visualmente estético, que juega con la expectativa de los espectadores de manera tal que uno ni siquiera sabe qué palabra saldrá del personaje o qué sucederá en la siguiente escena (un gran episodio con la pistola en la cancha de baloncesto). Pattinson, interpretado por un actor, cuya elección originalmente me parecía ser una decisión equivocada, es lo mejor de la película, su actuación está perfecta. Binoche, Amalric y Giamatti gozan interpretando sus papeles más pequeños y avivan la película de manera muy agradable. Es una pena que para crear la despersonalización de una sociedad cosmopolita, la película misma permanezca despersonalizada en todos los niveles, con la excepción de la relación de Pattinson con su esposa. Las mejores escenas de la película son de esta pareja junto con los únicos diálogos tangibles. Cosmopolis es una película tonta y juguetona que me divirtió por ser diferente. Y también por la idea de cómo la mirarán las multitudes de fans adolescentes de Pattinson :-D ()

inglés What feels like roughly four hours of toilet philosophising, which Cronenberg disparages in places, but through most of the film he just lets it monotonously flow forth, which is so mind-numbing that you will probably lose any desire to hear the film’s message, whatever that may be (for example, the message that we haven’t been told anything). I will have to watch it again to confirm or refute the impression that this is Cronenberg’s shallowest and least atmospheric film, but I’m going to need to psych myself up for that over the next several weeks. 50% ()

inglés It is not enough to describe book dialogues and film them with the stereotypical method of “shot x counter-shot". There are a few eccentric moments and they feel more self-parodying, while the ending is explicitly verbal diarrhea. Although I basically like what the film says, it does not defend Cronenberg's form. Not even the desperately un-charismatic Pattinson, whose decadent boredom one can't even take seriously. ()

inglés It’s not exactly an enjoyable watch, but Cosmopolis is definitely worth seeing. For its differentness at least. Also to see Pattinson (just how many horrified fans left the theater in disgust? :D) who gives the best performance of his career so far. I must admit that I found myself nodding off a bit during the first half, some of the theorizing dialogs were tiresome, but that soon stopped. Basically non-existent relationships (except for the wide and that grampa) rule out any sympathy for the characters. The music, combining Shore’s abilities with the electronic project Metric, is almost hypnotizing in places. This isn’t a satisfying picture and that’s on purpose. Maybe that’s why I rather liked it. I’ll certainly play it again, the more I think about it, the more interesting that proposed journey to the barber’s seems. ()

inglés I don't count myself among the die-hard fans of David Cronenberg, and although I’ve been keeping an eye on hims since the days of Crash, but I've never been particularly fond of him. So what is Cosmopolis like? Ordinary. In the context of Cronenberg's work, not particularly alarming, not particularly revelatory. But his collaboration with Robert Pattinson apparently appealed to him, and so we got even more of it with Maps to the Stars... ()

español Mis sentimientos sobre esta película se resumen muy bien en el discurso de una de las protagonistas, cuando cuenta que fue al teatro a ver una obra con muy poca asistencia, y a los cinco minutos de levantarse el telón supo el motivo, por lo que se marchó molesto durante el descanso. Viendo Cosmopolis me sentí más o menos igual, salvo que me quedé hasta el final. ()

inglés The film captures the nearly twenty-four-hour-long self-destructive descent of one man, one archetype, and one mental world. The desire to obtain and understand abstract pure power, passing through wealth itself, the desire to predict, control, and live in the future, enjoying a primitive sense of superiority and strength without sympathy for the surroundings due to one's position. All of this collapses upon realizing that the future cannot be controlled and that death awaits everyone indiscriminately. In the end, it did indeed catch up with Eric Packer not only for how he lived but mainly for how he thought. The film is an above-average faithful adaptation of its source material, which is both a positive and a negative. The disadvantage is for those who have not read the book - then the film will probably turn into a series of scenes that are only understood by chance, or rather, or not at all... I cannot overly criticize that the film did not capture all the thoughts of the printed source, as that is simply a limitation of almost all films based on any book. I had not seen R. Pattinson in any major role before this, so I can objectively say that he does not (particularly) detract from the quality of the film. ()

inglés The day in the limousine passes in a way that makes you think about where society is actually heading. Eric is an example of how indifferent others are to us. Everyone is free to him, just like their own destiny. He has reached a stage where he doesn't really care about anything. Peeing in the limousine is as big of a problem for him as killing someone. Does he actually care about anything? What do we care about? Can we still talk together? And when we talk together, does it have any meaning? I think this is another excellent Cronenberg study that deserves attention, just try to endure it and contemplate about it. If the film doesn't say anything to you anyway, I'm sorry, that can also be its result. But does it really matter? It can affect everyone differently. ()
