(Juan Jose Campanella / 2010 / Argentina & Spain / 129 minutes / cert 18)
A quarter of a century of Argentina's dirty war and period of dictatorship is the time frame for this psychological thriller, winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. When an ex-cop decides to write a novel about one of his unresolved homicide cases, he reopens painful memories and also rekindles his love for his former superior. Along the way, a close relationship forms between between the investigator and the grieving widower of the victim. But both men must pay a price for their obsession with justice and retribution.
