This year's Oscar ceremony the award for Best foreign movie raised a few eyebrows when relatively unknown outside its native Argentina when El secreto de sus ojos (The Secret In Their Eyes) won the award.
The movie was quickly snapped up up by Sony Picture Classics label and quickly started to do the rounds around the world why it deserved the award beating off the likes of Ajami, A Prophet, White Ribbon and The Milk of Sorrow. I remember the ceremony well with the presenter assuming White Ribbon or A Prophet was going to win and her shock when it went to the Argentian movie.
The movie is now finally going to be released cinematically on Friday in UK & Ireland and I've just had a read of the Empire magazine review and they gave it a 5/5 and I hope to check it out myself on Friday. Synopsis and trailer after the break...
