This 2009 Oscar winner in the Best Foreign Language film category is a slow tango through a twenty-five-year-old brutal rape/murder that has obsessed an Argentine detective. As with that exotic dance step, expect to find sudden reversals and quick dips into the past, not to mention the rose in the teeth romanticism in the form of the beautiful judge who helps him.
Remember when you used to sneak away to the cinema to escape the endless gloom and doom that bled from the headlines? Well, now you can again – far, far away to the red planet Mars, where a left for dead astronaut must use all his wits to survive until help arrives. It is only 140 million miles away.
This is a low-key crime drama, so don’t expect shootouts, car chases, or steamy scenes of passion. Certainly not a blazing fire, not even a slow burn, just grey, barely warm ashes we are compelled to sift through. Ashes that remain long after the flame has died away.
Treat yourself to one of Hitchcock’s early classics, complete with international intrigue, slightly wacky cricket fans, and a Miss Marple like lady who suddenly vanishes without a trace from her train compartment as it meanders through the Swiss Alps. With the sole exception of a young Englishwoman, however, no one else will even admit to having seen her in the first place.
Get your Tex Mex on while you watch a great Plane flick. No big names, no glitzy promos, but this 2005 summer surprise delivers everything the high profile thrillers promised without the pouty stars and their tabloid lives.
