Tomasso , that encompasses an entire stadium during a live football match. From a standard aerial overview we approach the stadium, dive in, cross the field between the players mid-match and find the protagonist in the crowd, then take a circular move around him and follow as he shuffles through the stands until he finds the suspect, only to conclude with a feverish stop-and-go chase on foot through the murky rooms and corridors beneath the stands, finally ending under the lights in the middle of the pitch.

Will writing the novel finally help him to crack the case and — and defeat his personal demons? This is a thoroughly entertaining film that certainly gripped me over its minutes and it is great to see a large scale Argentinian film again. Shot in CinemaScope with a wonderful sequence at a football ground and a great football discussion in a bar , the film looks very good and the performances are outstanding. There was only one technical flaw, exacerbated by watching the film on a big screen via a digital print — the make-up necessary to age characters by 25 years is clearly visible.

The not unnatural obsession with this period is a trait of Argentinian Cinema and it is interesting that it is still there as a major theme. This might be the key to why I was so reminded of the The Lives of Others , another Oscar winner which explored a dark national past via crime, mystery and personal relationships. Rather like that film, I did feel that sometimes this Argentinian film was rather too clever for its own good. In some ways, I would have probably enjoyed the film even more if these relationships had replaced the murder mystery altogether. But the review has other important points to make as well.
