El secreto de sus ojos o cómo vivir una vida vacía: de la literatura al cine (Eduardo Sacheri / Juan José Campanella)

Abstract

The film adaptation of the novel La pregunta de sus ojos (2005) by Eduardo Sacheri has led to one of the best films of Argentine cinema, El secreto de sus ojos (2009), by Juan José Campanella, who has gained wide recognition by audiences and critics. This article analyzes the construction of the script, which Sacheri himself helped to write, in order to explain a series of brilliant additions to the literary text that affect the structure of the story and character settings, contributing a great narrative coherence and consistency to the story told in the film.      film adaptation,
