Argentina - Film - The Secret in Their Eyes / El Secreto de Sus Ojos (2009)

The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos) 

was recommended by the director, Gabe Gonda, who called it, "an amazing film not just in story and acting, but from a technical point of view too.  The stadium scene is one continuous shot." and boy was he right. Roger Ebert agreed with him in the general and in the specific and wrote, "there is a scene involving him in a soccer stadium that I have no idea how it could have been filmed, special effects or not."  The stadium scene is amazing, but really the whole film is amazing. 

As said in the film,  "You'll have a thousand pasts and no future." In many ways this is a film about how we deal with the past, and how some people can never really escape it.  Superbly written, acted, and directed this film covers a dark time in Argentinian history with a skill that makes you feel connected to its time and place.
