The Secret in their Eyes proved as popular as expected, in terms of attendance (6th highest since 'records began' in 2003) and 22nd in terms of audience reaction with 88.62%. Not everyone liked it though - see John's review.
The third and last of our series of Argentinian films is coming up this Sunday, with Lucrecia Martel's The Headless Woman. Old hands will have seen her La Cienaga (The Swamp) at the 2002 Festival. You can get a good idea of what is on offer from the brochure and film notes or by listening to the Daily Telegraph film critic: 'Chances are you'll leave Martel's film wanting to see it again. Rightly so. It's elliptical, encoded, endlessly suggestive.'
