The Secret in their Eyes (2009)

9/10

Spoken Language: Spanish
This movie provides a welcome contrast to the many gloomy movies which permeate the mystery genre. An unresolved case is at the core of this excellent film, and the story is told by seamlessly alternating between the present and past, and (among its many themes) engages the viewer by examining the inter-connectivity of the past and present. The story unfolds at a slow pace, and the result is a gripping and original film.
Bonus: There is a stunning continuous tracking shot that easily places among the greatest single shots in film history.

IMDB Top 250 - #145
