Dark 70s

Rating: 7/10 (13 April 2010)

This got the Oscar for best foreign movie. It's difficult to understand for those of us who have seen "The White Ribbon", even if "El secreto de sus ojos" isn't a bad film.
A prosecutioner investigates a murder/rape crime some time before the junta rebellion. He can't let it go, not even after his retirement. And finally the fog is left off his and our eyes.
The problem is that this film can't really decide whether it's a portrait of a man, a crime story, a relation drama or a comedy, because you find it all here. There are movies which can combine it, but Campanella still has rather much to learn, before he gets away with such a mission.
