Open your eyes... and stop dreaming.

A man falls in love with the girl of his dreams but his ex-lover doesn't let go so easily and he ends up with a grotesquely disfigured face in the process. The rest of the movie is his quest to overcome his disfigurement. Sounds like a conventional against-all-odds kind of story, doesn't it? Well, it isn't. There are bizarre occurrences, paranoia, violence and murder. The movie examines the nature... read more

With this movie, Alejandro Amenabar became a household name and went to direct ‘The Others’ in Hollywood. After ‘Mar Adentro’, it became rather quiet with the Spanish director but, apparently, he is coming back with something new in 2015 after a 6 years hiatus. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, I find it rather difficult to choose between this one and the remake which one is the bes... read more

The original version of Vanilla Sky, so to speak. (Vanilla Sky is a remake of this movie.)
The story is slightly different though... but the voice at the beginning ("abre los ojos") is the same... :-)

Description: An imprisoned man hides his face behind a mask is telling his story, as a flashback, to a psychiatrist: his name is César, he is an orphan but he had inherited a fortune from his parents, and he used to live in a luxurious house of his his own. He was also very handsome and a renowned womanizer. His best friend, Pelayo, was jealous of César because he was not very successful with women. But one night, Pelayo showed up in one of César's parties with a beautiful woman named Sofía. When César met her and talked to her for a while, he began to feel something he had never felt before: love. And, although she was supposed to be P ... (more)

Penélope Cruz es todo un sueño

“Es pesadillezco el análisis del personaje principal a través de su ego, como este lo lleva a tomar las peores decisiones y cada una es peor que otra, a tal punto de que es una completa locura pensar en qué es real y qué no lo es.

No sé que interpretación tendrán, pero creo que el tipo estaba viviendo una mentira tras otra alimentado por el hecho de que siempre fue la víctima.

El primer acto puede ser lo más cercano que tenemos de la realidad, pero si lo piensan bien, en ninguna escena falta César. Al inicio, vemos que están en una fiesta de cumpleaños, ¿de quién? De César. La tipa que provocó su accidente estaba obsesionada con César y no tenía otra razón de existir en esa trama que perseguirlo. Sofía (joder Penélope Cruz qué mujer mamita querida y” read more

"5.1, PC Onnekseni en tiennyt Abre Los Ojosin sisällöstä ennakkoon yhtikäs mtään, en edes tarinan alkuasetelmaa. Elokuva alkaa rakkauselokuvana, mutta sekoittelee muitakin genrejä hienosti tarinaan sen edetessä. Tarinan suhteen puhtaalta pöydältä lähdettessä Abre Los Ojos osasi yllättää erittäin positiivisesti, ja sen kehittyminen alkukohtauksesta läpi elokuvan voimakkaaseen huipennukseen on eeppinen; Mikko Leppil... Eduardo Noriegan samaistuttavasti esittämän päähenkilön "
