It's quite embarrassing in fact, because Darín as a director tried to achieve something like that with "La señal". He understands when silence is required and when the loneliness of the characters –each of them with a rich, mysterious private and inner world- must be seen fully. In his riskiest picture, Campanella flirts with thriller, mystery and real action (handy-cam included) he acquires true tension and a sequence in a soccer stadium is the best example of it. The film contains a treatment of a police investigation that hasn't been seen in our cinema for years.
Secret in their eyes movie#
The fact is "El secreto de sus ojos" is a very good movie because there are things we don't see coming. His change of look, the measurement of his composition and how he enlightens it with comic touches make for one of the year's best performances. Taking the place of the best friend role always in charge of Fernando Blanco, the comedian plays a drunk with a lot of respect for friendship. In this aspect, the casting of Guillermo Francella as Pablo Sandoval is crucial. We expect from the director a powerful love that grows with the years, as we saw with Darín and Villamil in "El mismo amor, la misma lluvia" we expect characters with inner ghosts, things to hide and things to hold on to we expect total control over the language of the environment (in "El mismo amor." it was a magazine staff, in "Luna de Avellaneda" the neighborhood club), a knowledge of the customs and the way of speaking of characters that makes for day-to-day comedy. There are things we never forget, Campanella knows well, and that might be the film's most important declaration. "You have to see his eyes they are in a state of pure love", Benjamín professes in front of Irene Hastings (Soledad Villamil) his boss and the woman he loves. A woman raped and killed and a husband with the surname Morales (Pablo Rago) who went every day to every train station in Buenos Aires to see if he could find the killer. "El secreto de sus ojos" tells the story of Benjamín Esposito (Darín) and his need to tell the story of a case that wasn't completely solved 25 years ago and had an important impact in his life. When the film ended, the people in the movie theater started clapping. And technically, if it's the highest order, there won't be any complaints. We know, dramatically, what we're going to watch: Ricardo Darín in an important role, a lot of sentimentalism, references to the country's past, a love story. The director works in USA and from time to time he brings a new film. (a wasted Alfred Molina) who jeopardizes the case and drives Ray to quit his job, a bungled attempt to tie in the cold murder case with the terrorism paranoia that gripped the country after 9/11 and a chase through Dodger Stadium that struggles in vain to wake up a film that was dead on arrival.In my country, Juan José Campanella is synonym of 'cinema of the highest order'. To distract you from the fact that nothing is going on in Secret in Their Eyes except bad acting, the script drones on about clues hidden in comic books, Ray’s passion for Claire, Claire’s indifference to Ray, Jess’ cynicism about everything, a corrupt D.A. Jess looks like hell throughout and Claire never changes. If his temples are gray and the other guys on the case are bald, it’s 2015.

The entire movie is told in a series of 13-year cuts that are so incoherent the only way you can tell where you are in time is the color of Ray’s sideburns. Nobody believes Ray, including Jess, and the movie shifts back and forth between 20 trying to explain why. district attorney, still carries a torch for Ray, although the film is blurry about their past and there is nothing to suggest any rapport in the present. to inform Jess, driven to the brink of madness by her obsession, he has found her daughter’s killer after 13 years. The case is all but forgotten, but Ray, who works in security for the New York Mets, pays a surprise visit to his old pals in L.A. Her friends in the district attorney’s office back in the day when her kid’s body was found in a dumpster next to a Muslim mosque were ambitious newcomer Claire (Nicole Kidman) and aggressive counter-terrorism investigator Ray (Chiwetel Ejiofor, from 12 Years a Slave). The awkwardly written script by director Billy Ray, who does not appear to remember much about filmmaking since Captain Phillips, seesaws incoherently between today and the unsolved murder in 2002 of the teenaged daughter of a Los Angeles cop named Jess, played like a hollow-eyed zombie by Julia Roberts. Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts
