The Secret in their Eyes

2009 Director Juan José Campanella

This is a film that sets a very high bar in story telling. Mixing humour and suspense tastefully around what is ostensibly a love story wrapped around a monstrous event.

When a retired criminal prosecutor decides to try his hand at writing a novel he finds himself inextricably drawn into the harrowing events of an unsolved crime. Re-investigating the brutal rape and murder of a beautiful woman he discovers devastated lives, corrupt government officials and a lost love. But as he delves deeper he finds himself at the dark heart of society where mysteries lurk in shadows and danger waits around every corner.

Strewn with ingenious twists and turns, this stunning, edge of your seat thriller is a cinematic tour de force of nail biting suspense and white knuckle excitement that will not disappoint. All the loose ends are neatly tied up in a wonderful finale.
