EL SECRETO DE SUS OJOS - 2010 Academy award winner for Best Foreign Film
The opening film for the 9th Spanish Film festival this coming Sept 29, 2010 at Greenbelt cinema 3, 7 pm.
Benjamin Esposito has just retired after a lifetime working as an employee in a criminal court.To occupy his free time he decides to write a novel based on a true story of what has been a witness and protagonist.
The novel he writes is, apparently, the story of a murder in Buenos Aires in 1974, and research to find the culprit. But once you open the door this past Esposito himself was impossible to close it again. First, because the turbulent Argentina then seeps into the lives of the characters, with its share of violence and death. And, above all because, although Esposito suppose that weaves the story speaks only of the past, the search lights in a stark his own life and her present, and you face a dilemma of love that haunts him for too long.
Reconstructing the past will lead you to dive into their own feelings, their own behaviors and decisions. And find the truth will eventually become a target rather than literary, but the key that lets you open the door to live the rest of his life.
I hope I could watch this film, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to. First, it’s going to be shown on a weekday and second, I have work and where’s my work?. Batangas. ugh. But any way, I’ll try my best to watch any film or documentaries that will be shown for the whole October with my brother. Of course, I’ll take the weekend shows.
