Why did noone tell me how good this film is?! Juan Jose Campanella crafted an old-fashioned, consistently intelligent mystery that tackles the Argentinian justice system. The film, headlined by Ricardo Darin, whose name I've come to associate with pure class (he also starred in the underrated 'El Aura'), took the 2010 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar over 2 big-boys - The White Ribbon and Un Prophete - and I can honestly say I'm no longer surprised. It might not be far and away the best film of the three but it's tense, haunting and contains some remarkably audacious filmmaking.
Anyone else seen it?
