The movie and its pace probably isn't something for the big masses. Which almost is ironic considering that the movie is about fame (amongst other things). The movie also does not shy away from being what commonly would be known as ugly. Always in the eye of the beholder of course. Jorge Garcia is of course known for his role in the show Lost - but there may be some who have not seen it and may be surprised by his very subtle portrayal here.

The movie overall is rather subtle and the already mentioned pacing will drive some away I would imagine. Those who stay and watch through will witness a quite powerful ending to the movie. A really good one, that you may or may not expect from this ...

Memo(Jorge Garcia) an introverted man, who spends a good part of his days working for his uncle, he never says too much to many people, but has it goes we learn that there was traumatic event from his childhood pretty left himself to feel alone in the world, but soon somebody comes into Memos life, and will it bring Memo out of his shell?







A well made film, Garcia gives a good bittersweet performance has Memo, you really feel bad for him, that life gave him bad blows, won't give away any spoilers. Now the film is pretty slow in parts, But a brilliant film, I like the way it kind of reveals itself along the way.

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.
