The Secret in their Eyes, Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Picture (Argentina)

SHORT SYNOPSIS
With THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES, Argentinean writer-director-editor Juan Jose Campanella has created a multi-layered and poignant thriller interweaving the personal lives of a state prosecution investigator and a judge, with a manhunt spanning twenty- five years.
Recently retired criminal court investigator Benjamin (Ricardo Darin), decides to write a novel based on a twenty-five year old unresolved rape and murder case, which still haunts him. Sharing his plans with Irene (Soledad Villamil), the beautiful judge and former colleague he has secretly been in love with for years, Benjamins initial involvement with the case is shown through flashbacks, as he sets out to identify the murderer. But Benjamins search for the truth will put him at the center of a judicial nightmare, as the mystery of the heinous crime continues to unfold in the present, testing the limits of a man seeking justice and personal fulfillment at last.
LONG SYNOPSIS
Former Buenos Aires state court criminal investigator Benjamin Espósito (popular Argentinean actor Ricardo Darin) is recently retired, but he is not at peace. A twenty- five year -year old case and lost opportunities still haunt his memories and his life. He decides to write a novel about the case, which altered the course of his life in the hopes of finding closure after years of uncertainty.
Alternating between past and present, THE SECRET IN THEIR EYES tells the story of a 1974 brutal rape-murder of a beautiful twenty-three year old woman and Espósitos attempt to solve the case. In the course of the investigation Espósito is struck by the victims husband, Ricardo Morales (Pablo Rago), a young bank employee whose singular love and devotion for his wife only puts into question Espósitos own obsession with his newly appointed superior Irene (Soledad Villamil), a beautiful and upper-class sophisticate with a law degree from Cornell.
Espósito and his quirky partner Sandoval (Argentinas renowned comic Guillermo Francella) - whom he must often rescue from drunken escapades - identify and track down their suspect, Gomez (Javier Godino), and with the help of Irene secure his confession. But just as the case seems to be over and Espósito is on the verge of revealing his feelings for Irene, his life begins to unravel. In Espósitos moral and zealous pursuit of his target, he makes enemies, and puts his life at risk just as Gomez is prematurely released from jail and becomes an agent of Argentinas repressive secret police. Fearing for his safety, Espósito must quickly leave Buenos Aires, leaving Irene behind without being able to profess his love for her.
In the course of writing his novel, Espósito re-enters the long forgotten case and Irenes life, attempting to uncover the fate of the killer and the victims husband. Only then, will he be able to complete his story and have a new chance at fulfilling his life

I like foreign especially Spanish language films so I will see this. I reccomend 'Sugar' about a dominican baseball player and Sin Nombre btw.

[blacktreemedia]

@Geezyone actually, we covered Sugar, I will have to repost the clip, i believe we just aired it on our sister TV stations. We will make a online clip with the interviews and reload it, I actually had forgot about that movie but it was good.

[idilali]

[caroschriber96]

soy de argentina y vi esta pelicula millones de veces lo que mas me gusto fue la participacion de guillermo fracella ( el amigo de benjamin en la pelicula) el normalmente aqui se desarrolla en papeles de television comicos pero definitivamente en esta pelicula se lucio

[estefaniapdl]

@utubenotebanco because is not the secret in his eyes, the one who have a secret in the photo, is a man.

[larpman]

@utubenotebanco The translation is correct, but so is yours. Su can be his, her, your or their. The killer isn't the only one with a secret.

[Maylenne]

@utubenotebanco Maybe (just guessing) because that would give people the hint it was refering to a male's eyes, and they wanted to keep it as neutral as posible until they had the chance to see the movie.

[TheStichman]

Unbelievably good film.

[utubenotebanco]

the movie was great. one of the best argentinian films i've ever seen.

but i would like to know why the movie title is translated as "the secret in their eyes", when the correct translation would be "the secret in HIS eyes", cuz the title is regarding to the assassin's eyes.

Learn to fuckin upload in the right aspect ratio, god!

[shrimpfarmersunion]

Just saw it. Stunning. Great plot, great cinematography and direction, some fantastic acting- It's all there.

Contains a lot of symbolism about two complete opposite notions of passion. By the end you'll know what I mean.
