February 21st brings an Argentinean drama awarded the prize for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2010 Oscars. EL SECRETO DE SUS OJOS (The Secret in Their Eyes) finds a retired legal counselor (Ricardo Darin) recounting the events of a decades-old unresolved murder case while writing a novel based on the grizzly event. Reliving moments that resulted in an unfair lack of consequence for the killer also prompt him to deal with feelings of regret about an unrequited love for his superior. The film nearly swept Argentina’s version of the Academy Awards, earning top honors for acting, directing, writing, and 2009’s Best Film. It also won in two categories, including Best Spanish Language Foreign Film, at Spain’s Goya Awards. Juan Jose Campanella (Son of the Bride) directed this highly-acclaimed foreign drama.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Free Monday night entertainment is still available and open to the public through March, courtesy of the ASU Spring Film Series. Unique cultural experiences await viewers of the series’ February 21st and 28th screenings.
