The Secret in Their Eyes (2009)

Last updated on: October 6, 2012 at 4:18 pm   By Jeffrey Overstreet

This review was originally published at Filmwell. – Four pairs of eyes — or better, four gazes — create the frame in which a compelling, troubling drama plays out in The Secret in Their Eyes. There’s the gaze of the dead woman, sprawled naked on the floor, her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling from a face bruised and bloodied. This shocks and traumatizes the investigator, Benjamin (Ricardo Darin), who sees her lying there. It pulls his gaze away from... Read more

MINE (2009)

Last updated on: October 6, 2012 at 4:19 pm   By Jeffrey Overstreet

This review was originally published at Good Letters, the blog hosted by Image. – As I’m writing this, my magnificent mutt of a cat—Jonathan Mardukas—is purring like he’s never been happier. Mardukas (or “The Duke”) does this when he knows I’m not feeling well, or when he’s feeling neglected. This time, he’s climbed onto my chest so he can stand between me and my laptop. Big, black, and beautiful, he’s overpowering my protests. His timing is uncanny. I’m trying to... Read more

Dante’s Inferno… you know, for kids!

Last updated on: October 1, 2012 at 5:05 pm   By Jeffrey Overstreet

I just saw the Oscar-winning Argentinian film The Secret in Their Eyes. (Seeing that and The Headless Woman this month, I am suddenly very interested in Argentinian cinema.) I found Secret to be a strong work of suspenseful detective-storytelling, like a great installment of Prime Suspect. So I was startled to learn what the director, Juan Jose Campanella, plans to do next… (more…) Read more
