Directed by Juan José Campanella, The Secret in Their Eyes won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Benjamín is a former criminal court employee in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who wants to write a novel about a case he investigated in the 1970s, in which a young woman was brutally raped and murdered. He confides his intentions to a judge with whom he’s been secretly smitten for years, but she expresses reservations about the idea. Meanwhile, flashbacks recount the drama surrounding the case itself; ultimately, the two narratives converge in an emotionally complex conclusion. Admission is $6 for all University of Miami faculty, staff, alumni, and non-UM students; free for UM students. General admission is $8. The film screens on Friday, June 25 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, June 26 at 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.; and Sunday, June 27 at 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.
