In ihren Augen (2009)

In ihren Augen: Directed by Juan José Campanella. With Soledad Villamil, Ricardo Darín, Carla Quevedo, Pablo Rago. A retired legal counselor writes a novel hoping to find closure for one of his past unresolved homicide cases and for his unreciprocated love with his superior – both of which still haunt him decades later.

“Last night I went to watch this flick, and I must say that all in all, I ended up quite surprised because of itu0026#39;s impressive quality. Taking into account that I was already expecting superior film, indeed, it came out to be even more outstanding than I thought, mainly because of the rare combination of noir genre with very precise and measured funny moments and especially an incredibly faithful description of the Argentine system of justice and the characters that compose it. This last element is just perfect. The movie keeps your attention all the time -no decays at all- and the set design is also great, to such extent that it left me wondering what the tricks of the trade employed to achieve such similarity are. Foreign watchers might not fully understand some great details that are mainly local, but anyway they will surely enjoy the thrilling aspects of the film. It would be enough for them to say that almost all this localeu0026#39;s are just true, no matter how incredible they might look.”
