The Secret in Their Eyes [Film Tie-In]
The Secret in Their Eyes [Film Tie-In] | Eduardo Sacheri
6 posts | 7 read | 7 to read
Part haunting crime thriller, part love story - and now a major motion picture, starring Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman. Benjamin Chaparro is a man haunted by his past - a retired detective, he remains obsessed with the decades-old case of the rape and murder of a young woman. As he revisits the details of the investigation, he is reacquainted with his similarly long, unrequited love for Irene Hornos, then just an intern, now a respected judge. Absorbing and masterfully crafted, The Secret in Their Eyes is a meditation on the effects of the passage of time and unfulfilled desire. The Secret in Their Eyes was made into the Academy Award winning film of the same name in 2009. Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, and Chiwetel Eijiofor now star in the English remake of this gripping story, to be released late 2015. 'Beguiling ... [A] complex and engaging narrative' Publishers Weekly 'A brutal murder is the starting point for this strange, compelling journey through Argentina's criminal-justice system ... A view of the world as a dark place illuminated by personal loyalties' Kirkus Reviews 'A terrific crime thriller-cum-love story ... strong and simple; I found it gripping' Australian Womens Weekly 'A story that leaves you breathless' El Liberal

I‘m confused with the movie adaptation of this film. I liked the book, I read the English version and watched the Spanish version movie. But I don‘t know if the English version movie follows the book plot? Or maybe it‘s different🤷🏽‍♀️The Spanish movie adaptation is pretty similar to the book.

Eggs Great choice 👍🏼🤩👏🏻 14mo

An attempt to read a book in (Argentinian) Spanish. This might take a while…

I saw the audiobook was free and decided to read the book. I really enjoyed this one. Benjamin Chaparro decides to write a book to manage his retirement idleness. He will write about a crime case that occurred more than 20 years ago which he investigated. It has two time lines and I liked that slow character driven writing style. It has that existentialist tone about life. There is a good movie adaptation but with different end. 4⭐️

Gissy The novel has an open ending in case you don‘t like that type of books. The title in Spanish is La Pregunta de sus Ojos.

What to say about this one... I‘ve been so excited about this book after watching the movie trailer featuring Julia Roberts. It looked SO GOOD! I didn‘t even bother to read the blurb on the back of the book. Turns out the Americanized remake was a totally different story than the Argentinian original. Although not what I expected, once I got over the mild confusion, I found that I enjoyed the twists and turns of this murder mystery.

I have been working against any labor laws for the last weeks, so my reading time is suffering a lot. Today I made a point of taking time to cat something nice and read during lunch
