This film was a surprise that left me with emotions. I really appreciate it both from the artistic perspective and acting + plot.
Filming memories on phone was a really good and interesting idea that helps the scenes to be more intimate and intense.
Actors are always believable and it just seems like a reality, not a grotesque like 99% of the Czech cinematography.
Long scenes where nothing really happens, characters are not talking about their emotions, we have to feel them from their faces which are not exaggerated. No action like everywhere else. Just normal life.
This film is definitely not for everyone.

I watched the movie on KVIFF. I had lower expectations from it after reading the plot summary. I was positively surprised.
"Hranice lásky" gave me the reason for a good laugh and to have a deeper reflection at the same time.

Borders of Love seems authentic and that works in its favour. I mean, it really seems like Hana and Petr are in a regular long-term relationship, and that's very relatable. Their journey into something wild and new is progressive and also very well done. As with other stories of this type, we expect the cracks to eventually appear, and they do soon enough. Hana dives deeper into the new arrangement than Petr, starts to break the rules of engagement and pushes the boundaries too far.
Honesty, jealousy and commitment issues are standard ingredients for any relationship drama, but the mixture works well here. I really did enjoy Borders of Love very much and would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in erotic dramas that focus more on the characters rather than being gratuitous.

Which I reckon you could also apply to different people outside your relationship. Open relationships ... they may sound fun - but we never know what the other person is feeling about them. Not to mention our own feelings - we may say and think it is ok at first ... but is this our final thought? Will we change our mind? Things to ... well think about for sure.
Love has not borders - well I reckon passion is the one with no borders. But love? Well depending on the person it actually can be finite ... and for most it is ... you love one person usually ... they love you back (hopefully) or if you are unlucky, you pray you'll find someone else ... someone who does appreciate you.
Now having intimate sexual encounters ... with "strangers" is one thing - does this give anyone a free pass ... even if they have been given the ok from the partner? Very tough to say ... until you actually are in the situation ... try to be civil ... love is in the air ... but it can also go up in flames if you are not watching out for it.
There is nudity in case you were wondering, there are somewhat explicit situations ... but if you expect this movie to ... well excite you ... it may fail to do so ... because it does concentrate on the personal dilemmas ... and issues. Plus relationship and all that stuff.

The two protagonists, Petr and Hana, fail to communicate honestly with each other at critical moments during their experiment with an open relationship. Hana doesn't let Petr know she broke the rules by seeing someone else more than once (because he was really good at sex), and Petr never disclosed his true feelings about his girlfriend having sex with other people until it was far too late.
But the most egregious liar was Petr, by far, because he felt that way from the beginning and hid it from Hana. If only he'd been honest with her every step of the way, they never would've gotten so far down that rabbit hole. He was also quite selfish, indulging in the open relationship when he saw fit without a guilt in the world, but judging Hana for doing the same. She didn't tell him the truth one time, but she was otherwise amazingly open and honest about her escapades whenever they talked afterwards.
The movie has a small cast, but they were all very good in their roles and the critical roles of the two protagonists, who dominate the film, were very well played. It's a slow-moving film and some things didn't work for me, like the endless close-up cell-phone filming between Petr and Hana (a little bit of that would've sufficed), and the too-heavy, too-slow focus on Petr towards the end of the movie. But overall, an effective movie...I can't quite say enjoyable or entertaining because it's a downer of a film despite a fair amount of eroticism.
