Regret

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2011)

"The Secret in their Eyes" is a sad and precious story about wasted lives and regrets.Its plot travels between 1974 and 1999, from the time of dictatorship to the time of democracy. Argentina , like the most of South America went through turbulent upheaval in the 60's and 70's. The Cold War and its protagonists were spreading their macabre influence all over the world. If you weren't with them, you were against them. The simple tragic murder and rape of a young schoolteacher took a back seat to military junta's fight for survival. That act of criminal injustice affected three lives.This is a powerful, touching movie colored with pastel colors of regret and loss.
