"The Secret in Their Eyes"

Posted by pbarach on October 16, 2010 at 15:52:40:
This 2009 movie won the 2010 Oscar for best foreign language film of the year: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305806/.

The plot concerns a retired investigator who is intent on solving a 20 year old rape murder. The plot is NOT the only important element of this film. It's also about the choices we make in life and the way we shackle ourselves to them. The cinematography is excellent (except for an unusually yellowish cast to nearly every scene), especially an outstanding 10-minute shot with no apparent edit that starts with a helicopter shot over a soccer stadium, descends, and keeps going going going.... I can't think of any other use of a camera in movement that goes on for so long. Very exciting shot. I liked the music, and the Dolby Digital 5.1 was immersive and impactful where it needed to be. Wish it was a Blu-Ray. This goes immediately into my top 20 films of all time.
