A moving film

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2020)

An impressive argentine film that released in 2009 based on the novel "La pregunta de sus ojos" by Eduardo Sacheri. Directed by Juan José Campanella, argentine film and television director screenwriter and producer. "El secreto de tus ojos" won the Best Foreign Language Film of the Year in 2010. It stars Ricado Darín as Benjamín Espósito, Soledad Villamil as Irene Mendez, Guillermo Francella as Pablo Sandoval, Pablo Rago as Ricardo Morales y Javier Godino as Isidoro Gómez, talking about the main characters.
It is a crime, drama and suspense movie will take you breath away due to its gripping story. After a crime that takes place in Buenos Aires, Benjamín Esposito's life does not return to be the same since he never sees another love like the one Ricardo Morales had for his wife Liliana Morales, who was brutally raped and murdered.
Twenty-five years pass after that crime, which had been completely unsolved or less justly and Benjamín Espósito, a retired judicial agent, begins to write a novel about that event because after many years it still in his memory. He decides to visit Irene Méndez, who was head of department while he was working and the woman who he was deeply in love. He went with her to tell her about the idea he had of writing everything that had happened.
The murderer was found by Espósito and his alcoholic friend Pablo Sandoval, but an important clue to know who had been responsible was the look, which most of the time betrays us, like the one made evident the love between Benjamín and Irene. Murders, injustices, unfinished love and a shocking ending, in a nutshell, that is what we find in the film.
A riveting and thought-provoking script created by José Campanella and Eduardo. It makes the movie very enjoyable. In terms of music, it really is a brilliant job because it accompanies the appropriate scenes, making the experience very moving. The variety of locations where the film takes place made it not tedious, on the contrary, it made it exciting.
One of the things I liked the most about the movie was the acting of the characters because they made it interesting and really made you feel empathy for the situations described. Another thing I liked was the great variety of emotions that you can feel while you are watching the movie, it can be sadness, anger, happiness, etc. I totally recommend the film; it is absorbing and poignant.
