Netflix Sued Over ‘No Limit’ Film That Suggests Free Diver Killed His Wife
29.03.2023 - 17:03 / variety.com
Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Netflix was sued on Wednesday over “No Limit,” a fictionalized film that suggests a free diver deliberately killed his wife in a diving incident. The French-language film is based on the true story of Francisco “Pipin” Ferreras and his wife, Audrey Mestre. They were a celebrity couple within the world of free diving, an extreme sport in which divers descend hundreds of feet without oxygen. Mestre drowned while attempting a dive in the Dominican Republic in 2002, after the device that was supposed to carry her to the surface malfunctioned. The film tells the story of “Pascal Gautier” and “Roxane Aubrey,” a fictionalized version of the couple. Gautier is depicted as abusive and jealous of Aubrey’s success. In the climactic scene, the film strongly implies that Gautier sabotaged her compressed air tank, leaving it without enough air to bring her to the surface.
Ferreras filed a defamation lawsuit on Wednesday, alleging that the film portrays him as a murderer. The film also shows Gautier choking Aubrey during sex, and both characters cheating on each other, leading to a confrontation just before the fatal dive. “I don’t know how people can do something like that,” Ferreras said in a phone interview from his home in Cuba. “They turned the story around. They put it the way they wanted. That really hurt me.” The film includes a disclaimer saying that it is a “work of fiction” and that any resemblance to real people is coincidental. It also says that it is “inspired by real events.” At the end, there is a title card with Mestre’s photograph and a brief account of her death. The writer-director, David M. Rosenthal, told Variety in an interview that the film was vetted by lawyers before going
