Ok...so today's original post was deleted...Why? Because after our late-night movie going adventure, the happy post just HAD to be The Secret in Their Eyes, directed by Juan Jose Campanella. It won an Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Film, and I can see why. It was touching and heartbreaking and truly an amazing film. But I guess in some ways I'm a little different. Give me a good foreign or indie film over a blockbuster hit any day.
For those interested, here's a bit about the film...
Recently retired criminal court investigator Benjamin (Ricardo Darin), decides to write a novel based on a twenty-five year old unresolved rape and murder case, which still haunts him. Sharing his plans with Irene (Soledad Villamil), the beautiful judge and former colleague he has secretly been in love with for years, Benjamin’s initial involvement with the case is shown through flashbacks, as he sets out to identify the murderer. But Benjamin’s search for the truth will put him at the center of a judicial nightmare, as the mystery of the heinous crime continues to unfold in the present, testing the limits of a man seeking justice and personal fulfillment at last.
