Stunning 10/10!

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2015)

Do not write this off because it is a foreign language film. The Oscar for best foreign film was well targeted and I cannot imagine a film of this calibre coming out of Hollywood. It is in every respect as near to perfect as it gets. It is stylish, funny,brilliantly acted, savage, arrogant and superbly cast. You get a real feel for the characters, city and underlying corruption that permeates the film and makes you feel uneasy throughout. There is also a real insight into the smarter side of Buenos Aires life with stylish bars, restaurants and a culture of humour not unlike the British. I am told by my Venezuelan fiancée that the Argentinians are renown for their sense of humour in Latin America. The justice system and corruption inside it, hangs menacingly in the air throughout the film but then there is justice and real justice here... The twist will literally knock you over!
Contender for the best film ever made and I don't say that lightly.
