Open Your Eyes (1997)
(Abre los ojos)
Country: SP/FR/IT
Technical: col 117m
Director: Alejandro Amenábar
Cast: Eduardo Noriega, Penélope Cruz, Chete Lera
Synopsis:
A rich boy not noted for the sensitivity of his relations with women finally finds one he cares about but is disfigured in a car crash when another drives them both off the road and kills herself.
Review:
Never what it really seems, this gripping film is part nightmare, part science fiction, and leaves one guessing until the end; at which point, unlike many before it, it does not lose its nerve or resort to bathos. Remade with Tom Cruise as Vanilla Sky.
