" The first third of the movie feels like a dreadful soap opera in many ways. From there it improves, though I felt too much of the characterization and relationships were painted in broad strokes.

"Original Title: 'Abre los ojos' Directed by: Alejandro Amenábar With: Penélope Cruz Plot: A very handsome man finds the love of his life, but he suffers an accident and needs to have his face rebuilt by surgery after it is severely disfigured. Note: It is difficult to choose between this one and the remake which one is the best. I think it still prefer the original version because it focuses more on the story and there is no Hollywood influence here. "

A good movie
