Nobody Knows I'm Here

Yes, the movie is slow but in that slow pace is the beauty of the movie. Not many adults in our contemporary society are equipped to show or express feelings and emotions, now imagine a young man, you can't expect this from a young man. The beauty is in the silence, scenery, the hard work in the skin shop. Everything is implicit and if you can't connect or relate to the main character then you will miss the messages in the plot. Even at the end we can see the grandiose hypocrisy of people and the ignorance and greed of people.

Beautiful movie about a guy who struggles with his past presented in a lovely and touching way. Beautiful and atmospheric shots of the southern chilean landscape.

Beautiful scenery, understated emotional subject matter. A little slow at the beginning but worth watching

Since I am not (and will never be) famous, I am fascinated by the quest of many people to achieve fame. What is equally fascinating is the aftermath of fame. Nobody Knows I'm here is a wonderfully accomplished look into the exploitation of Chilean singer Memo. With a golden voice, it appears he is headed for a life of fame and glory. However, his success is short-lived and his subsequent life becomes a study in adapting and accepting the life that he has been given. This movie (contrary to some reviewers) unfolds in a perfect pace. (As a side note, I am a bit perplexed that many reviews equate scenes of dialogue with the notion that nothing is happening. As if their own lives were boring and a waste of time since they lack car chases, explosions and shootouts.) Along the way, many things happen in this movie that are un-expected, but, not un-believable. This is a credit to the Gaspar Antillo's superb directing. If you are looking for a beautifully depicted slice of life set in the lush Chilean country side, you will thoroughly enjoy this movie.

I thought this was a beautiful exploration of a tortured soul. The unfurling of the central character, and the girl who comes to love him, was sensitively played by both actors. The gentle teasing out of Memo's life by Jorge Garcia was a joy to watch. You shouldn't expect a traditional fast paced action film as that's not what this is but if you like character driven film then you'll enjoy this. With a satisfying end and some beautiful scenery and a performance full of emotion, I would recommend this film for a lazy Sunday evening.
