I just looked up ‘The Secret in their Eyes’ by Juan Carlos Campanella of Argentina and saw that the early number cruntching of reviews for this film best all other foreign competitors, even White Ribbon.
I’ve never heard of it. What prompted you to choose it?
Good luck on all your prognostications.
