The Secret In Their Eyes
El Secreto De Sus Ojos
An Argentinian film in Spanish with English sub-titles and tells the story of an unsolved murder case that still haunts the main protagonist, played by Ricardo Darin, many years after he has retired.
He returns to his work place requesting help and permission to revisit and re-open the case. His request is declined and told to forget about it. Ignoring this advice he doggedly presses on with his investigations anyhow.
A thoughtful well-crafted movie with excellent performances, that are balanced, restrained and believable. Superb direction, a tight script, and excellent dialogue.
Brilliant.
Go get it. Watch it.
