Top Notch Evening's entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2014)

I always like to prepare to watch a film. No ironing, especially when I have to read subtitles, cup of coffee or beer, lights just right, perhaps a few quiet nibbles... So it was I set myself up last night. What a lovely film. Gentle, like Chocolat, gritty like Seven and powerful like Lives of Others. A detective story, a love story, a revenge story all set against a beautiful Argentinian backdrop. The swooping stadium shop was as good as anything I have seen and the quiet unspoken moments as powerful. The broken husband, the affected lawyer, even the beautiful dead girl who we hardly know. Let's not analyse it too much, like a joke or sex, we should just enjoy it. Respect to everyone involved.
