The Secret In Their Eyes (18)

Part of the Swindon Film Festival 2011

 

Juan Jose Campanella wrote and directed this Oscar-winning crime drama, based on the novel by Eduardo Sacheri.

 

A recently retired criminal court official is trying to write a novel, but keeps getting drawn into his memories of a 25-year-old unsolved rape and murder case. He decides to re-investigate, and discovers a web of devastated lives and corruption at the dark heart of society …….as well as his own lost love.

“A supremely watchable, well-made and well-acted movie with a dark, sinewy sense of history...” (Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian)
