Apparently in filming, after all of that slapping, etc, it turned out the camera wasn't rolling and they lost loads of her performance. Mastrantonio refused point blank to do it again, so she's out of shot for a lot of it and a body double was brought in.
Similarly the very final part of Blackadder 4 when they go "over the top". The director wanted another, longer, take and the actors refused. That's why it is in slow motion and fades to black. Another one from me that probably won't be on many radars.
"The secrets in their eyes" Not the 2016 American remake, which I haven't seen but was not particularly well received, but the original.
José Campanella’s Argentinian thriller (El Secreto de Sus Ojos) won the Oscar for best foreign language film in 2010
Put away the blockbusters for a couple of hours and give this a try.
For me it was outstanding on so many levels.

I can't believe there are people who don't like Ferris Buellers Day Off. One of my top ten. But then I was born in the 80's and wonder if those who dislike it were born later.
Nope. 16 when it came out, bang in the middle of the target audience. Although Jonathan Schmock's Maitre D' at Chez Quis was the business, I'll happily concede that.

Yes, excellent movie. The lead actor (Ricardo Darin) has been in loads of good films - check out Wild Tales (a collection of short stories)."The secrets in their eyes" Not the 2016 American remake, which I haven't seen but was not particularly well received, but the original.

Are you sure? They had to stop where they were because they coukldn't move forward, they only had two steps, the final frame they basically all stop, so it had to be slowed down because otherwise it would be over in a second with one step.

Raw
Weird French veterinarian vamp flick
6.5/10
Can't believe comode rated this his best film of last year.
Worth remembering that most weeks he spends at least two days per week sat in screening rooms watching 3 or 4 films back to back. In that respect I can see why something like Raw would stand out, and it's not exactly a film that you're going to forget in a hurry.Weird French veterinarian vamp flick

It was probably in my top 10, and if I had to recall decent movies I watched last year that and The Handmaiden would be first on the list as they were so memorable.
