“No le de más vueltas. Va a tener mil pasados sin ningún futuro. No piense más. Se va a quedar solo con recuerdos.”
The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos)
is a 2009 Argentinian dramatic thriller film, directed by Juan José Campanella and based on Eduardo Sacheri's novel La pregunta de sus ojos (The Question in Their Eyes). A Wonderful movie worth your time. It's just full of passion. This one will stay with you. It's impossible not to get caught up in this epic tale of unresolved love and despair. The compelling story plays out like a page-turning suspense novel that you can't put down. Also is a best-of-both-worlds affair, combining old-school storytelling with modern-day technique.
Below excerpt of Rick Groen's review.
In the opening frames, a one-word note, scrawled by an aging man on a bedside pad in the seconds before sleep overtakes him, reads simply, “Temo” – I fear. What follows is a murder mystery, a romance, a comedy, a political document, and a dissertation on memory and truth, all seamlessly interwoven into a life-long journey that ends with the addition of a single transformative letter. Among the many secrets in The Secret in Their Eyes is how that old man gains the knowledge, and the courage, to elevate himself from “Temo” to “Te Amo” – from the clutches of fear to the balm of love. Such an arduous journey, yet such an effortless film.
But naturalism isn’t realism, and that’s precisely the point here. Over a lifetime of chances seized and lost, of lies told and retracted, our eyes harbour secrets that our mind both knows and doesn’t know. To unravel those secrets can be a hero’s quest or a fool’s errand, and Esposito is duly warned: “Forget about it. You’ll have a thousand pasts and no future.” Maybe so, maybe not – after all, infected by the same germ of hope, history’s heroes are close cousins to its fools.
