rainerup Taxi para 3 (A cab for 3) is one of the best films I have had the opportunity to watch recently. It shows the "real" Chile through real life characters, The story is really entertaining, the characters are convincing and well defined, but its not a "feelgood movie". It's a deeper look into the humanity of the everyday struggle for survival of ordinary people who can be drawn into unplanned dramatic situations.It got the Golden Shell at the Spanish San Sebastian film festival, sending the Spanish superproduction "Juana la Loca" to a humilliating second price - sometimes justice happens and a great, but low budget movie can still win over an expensive production promoted by a major distributor.
juancarlosrodriguezpavez This film was the most popular in Chile in the 2001, but this film is not the best. It is a travel for the Santiago Underground, where survivor is the life motive every day. A intimate see to the problems of a taxi driver, father and husband, where the money is the matter and the moral not pay the checks
Ostomedo2 Taxi para 3 (Taxi for 3) is about the sad life of many people in Chile. But is not a sad movie or a politic one. The curious and sometimes funny relation between two thieves and a cab driver shows all the moral misery in Chile nowadays. The three leading roles are just brilliant, and the script is very smart and well written. The line: "¿Volante o maleta?" (Wheel or trunk?) when the thieves are kidnapping the cab driver, is one of the most powerful in modern Chilean cinema, and resumes the world that Orlando Lubbert shows us. The only weak point is the photography, but doesn't bother watching this good movie with a good story, good acting and a good soundtrack.
rfmadness "Taxi para 3" is the best Chilean movie of all times, better than "El Chacotero Sentimental" (other good Chilean movie). The music is amazing, and the story is really really great. It's and excellent mixture between drama and comedy, with a surprising end. Very good for a Chilean film!
