The 2009 Argentinian version, a really good detective thriller, feels like an early christopher Nolan film in a lot of way. its got the same time thing going on, with it cutting between the detectives solving the case and then writing a book about it 20 years later. there’s a scene about halfway through set at a football pitch, which is genuinely one of the most impressive scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. 100% recommend

I watch this every year around Christmastime. The beginning of the movie is set during Christmas, and that’s kind of enough for me to make it a seasonal treat. It’s also one of my favorite movies for a number of reasons. I never read the book, and I know that it’s radically different in many aspects, but I’ve also heard this movie is a great example of condensing and contorting the source material into a feature length film. One thing that stands out to me is that it was a huge awards winner at the time, and I’m not so sure it would even get made nowadays. The characters are all flawed, and corrupt, and preoccupied with climbing the ladder of police politics. But they all have these great redemption arcs, especially Kevin Spacey as Jack Vincennes. It’s really hard to believe there was a time when Academy Award winning movies ended with thrilling shootouts.

I’ve been talking for so long how I should quit using Spotify because of their exploitive model, so today I finially switched to Apple Music instead
you don’t realize the chokehold the platform has had on your habits until forcing yourself to not open it as the first thing feels like saying hard & heavy no to a drunk cig
