The Secret in Their Eyes - El Secreto de Sus Ojos (2:07) 2009

Argentina's The Secret in Their Eyes last year took home the Oscar for Best Foreign film. It is very deserving of this honor. The movie centers around Benjamin Esposito who is haunted by an unsolved murder and also by not pursuing the woman he loves. After he retires, he begins to write a novel based on the Morales homicide and reconnects with Irene, the woman he has always loved. The movie is told in flashbacks with Benjamin and his alcoholic friend, Pablo working on the investigation. There is a twist that I did not see coming at all.  I started watching the movie thinking I would watch the first half tonight and finish it tomorrow. It was so riveting I didn't move from the screen until it was finished. I green light this movie.
