Negative Positive
Title: Superb filmaking
Review: It won the Oscar for best foreign film in 2010 and it is well deserved.the story build up, told in two time periods is excellent. The two main characters played by Ricardo Darín and Soledad Villamil are very good and with a special mention for their excellent make up, you can see them as young and older and the transformation is good.The basic story is a thriller, a crime committed in the past and never properly closed. This is set in Argentina's troubled times when the secret police is a law unto itself. An innocent victim and deep hurts for the one left alive. The court investigator is left with the unfinished case, the one he cannot leave behind. He decides to write a novel and in doing so starts to do research that will lead him on a different path. Personal relationships and humour also form part of the story and the whole is very strong.A good example of great film making.
