Review of The Limits of Control (2009) by Greg S — 28 Dec 2009

An enigmatic, silent killer is sent on an obscure mission to kill an unknown man for unexplained reasons; the movie follows him as he meets with a long string of contacts of unclear significance, each of whom gives him a matchbook with further instructions and offers him a piece of dime store philosophy.

Slow as molasses and often wincingly pretentious, but technically it's extremely beautiful, with incredible Spanish vistas and a measured cinematic poetry that's reminiscent of Sergio Leone. Not for all tastes, but worth a shot if your interested in seeing an experiment in pure cinema with almost no plot.
