About films

I don't go to the cinema very often. I do it when someone recomend me a film or when I think that there is something that worths...
The latest film I saw was "The secret of his eyes", a thriller directed by Juan José Campanella.
I really liked it! I'm not a lover of Argentinian films, but I have to admit that this is a very good one.
The story is set in Argentina, and it's about a man (Ricardo Darín) that has already retired as a court employee.
He wants to write a novel, a real story that had happened to him about 30 years before, more exactly in 1974. A misterious murder that has never been solved.
His decision makes him face sad episodes from the past and of course, he meets his impossible love (Soledad Villamil)that he kept in silence for a long time.
All the details are shown by flashbacks that take you to the '70, a dark part of our history, where the power and the silence were the main allies.
Apart from that, the story is told with a great sense of humour, despite the horrible crime and some shocking scenes.
On the other hand, there is a very well done setting and a fantastic wardrobe. The characters play their roles in an impeccable way. I don't adore Guillermo Francella, but in this film he plays the role of a lovely drunkard.
I really recomend it!
