„Kontroliuojamos ribos“ – tai dueto, kuris mėgsta eksperimentuoti ir filosofiškai kontempliuoti, darbas. Operatorius Ch. Doyle‘as, dažnai dirbantis su Wong Kar-Wai‘umi, meistriškai perteikė J. Jarmuscho konstruojamą siurrealistinę atmosferą. Filme nė vienas veikėjas neturi vardo. Net ir pagrindinis personažas vadinamas „Vienišiumi“. Apie jį nieko nežinoma, išskyrus tai, kad jis – samdomas žudikas. Su užduotimi į Ispaniją „Vienišių“ išsiunčia du prancūzai. Bekeliaudamas herojus sutiks spalvingiausių personažų (vaidmenis atlieka Tilda Swinton, Luisas Tosaras, Johnas Hurtas, Gaelis Garcia Bernalis, Bill Murray'us). Jis klausysis įdomių monologų, specifinių patarimų ir rinks degtukų dėžutėse perduodamus koduotus pranešimus. Šiame filme daug užuominų, bylojančių apie tai, jog žiūrovai atsiduria sapne arba – filme apie filmą.
