Reseñas (6)
Una banalidad con diálogos precisos, actuación auténtica y un reparto sorpresa. Desde el primer momento sabes hacia dónde va, y es exactamente hacia dónde va y cómo termina.

Formally, it is an interesting conversational film, but unfortunately, the work with the main topic is written very amateurishly. Instead of a real study of situations that the world of open relationships, swingers, and associated emotions may offer, there are a lot of clichés, whether in the view of introducing the issue by one sexually aggressive couple (of course, the alpha male is played by Martin Hofmann), through the presentation of an apparently polyamorous polycule (headed, of course, by Hynek Čermák...) to the typically simplified reactions to the given situations. Hana Vagnerová plays Hana, who dares to discover her sexuality with mutual agreement, her partner is Petr played by Matyáš Řezníček, who does the same until the moment when his partner confesses that she experienced something new with another man. The vain Petr cannot handle this, but at the same time allows Hana to continue with her experiments. While Hana still invites Petr on further adventures, Petr grows disgusted by Hana and finds a new closed relationship. It couldn't be more cliché. The film's promotion almost promised full-length porn, but Tomasz Wiński only made a typical chauvinistic anecdote.

Sobre esta película tengo una lucha interior. No quisiera favorecerla sólo por la frase tan usada «como obra checa, es buena», aunque eso es justamente lo que es. El manifiesto asociado de Wiński y compañía es en sí mismo acertado y, en principio, estoy de acuerdo con él en muchos, muchos puntos. Al mismo tiempo, los cineastas dicen que no consideran que sus obras sean perfectas, y eso es lo que yo subrayaría aquí. No puedo evitar la sensación de que el guión resta importancia al tema presentado de una manera increíble y el arco de personajes resulta demasiado simple. Borders of Love es en realidad una película en la que podría haber imaginado unos veinte minutos extra, algún bucle argumental extra, alguna satisfacción extra para el espectador, pero desgraciadamente eso no me fue dado. Aún así, la recomiendo como película checa, definitivamente destaca sobre la mayoría de la producción actual. [KVIFF 2022]

Neotřelé téma zachycené možná až příliš decentním způsobem, záleží však na individuálním vnímání. Jsem rád, že takový film v našich podmínkách vznikl, zvláště když se rodil asi tak těžce a tak dlouho. A možná filmu taky prospělo, že za kameru neusedl Čech, což se osvědčilo i v minulosti u jiných výtečných snímků. Oceňuji rovněž humor, který se ve filmu objeví v pár scénách, není nijak vtíravý, ani trapný, naopak až příliš trefný.

After the initial four minutes, I had an intense feeling that there were enough sounds in the film for a pornographic movie, while the visuals were significantly lacking in this regard. There was too much of both for a drama, though. I gave up all hope and prepared myself to write a negative review, but the creators surprised me with this slightly bizarre spectacle, which gradually began entertaining me. The film had a high-quality cast. I always enjoy seeing Martin Hofmann and Hynek Čermák. I also like redheads with freckles, and Matyáš Řezníček portrayed Petr convincingly enough. So, the only thing that bothered me was Eliska Křenková, who had a bland expression, and Captain Antonie Formanová, who didn't seem to be acting. The long, pathetic dialogue between Antonie and Petr made me decrease the number of stars. It was nothing special, but it could have been above average if the director had handled the situation better. / Lesson learned: If you have a fragile psyche, don't get involved in anything major. 2+

Few people managed to make a drama about intimacy, cohabitation and the depth of a relationship. And here, unexpectedly, it's been done very nicely. Sometimes witty lines occur that allow you to take a moment to breathe in the rush of emotion. I'm glad the entire creative team decided to work hard on the film because it just shows. I was a little concerned about the way the main characters filmed everything on their cell phones, because it would have been wonderful without it. Overall, it's a good film that I'm sure a lot of people will go to the cinema to see.
