I was caught off-guard by Juan Jose Campenella's Oscar-winning "The Secret In Their Eyes". What a moving, passionate, high-quality piece of art. Equal parts uplifting and devastation. Film-making just doesn't get any better than this.
My friends, here in the metro Detroit area, constantly poke fun at me for seeking out subtitled foreign movies. But "The Secret In Their Eyes" reminds me of why I do...because movies are my passion. Passion is one of the key themes of the film...watch the movie and you will see why! The film is filled with so many memorable scenes, its difficult to pick out the high-water-mark. But I'd have to go with the tremendously-edited helicopter and crane shot over the soccer stadium and the mayhem that ensues thereafter. It was a reminder to me of how brilliant film-making can really be. Beautiful.
Drama. Passion. Romance. Mystery. Thriller. Elements of comedy. The effects of aging. This movie truly has it all. Seek it out, you will be glad you did!
