One of the
best films to come out of Spain in recent years, Abre lo ojos
apparently starts off as a romantic drama, but soon grabs the
viewer’s emotions as it becomes a psychological thriller which
probes the mind and identity of Cesar (Noriega) following the
accident that overwhelms his life and his grip on reality. Amongst
it thought provoking subjects id the question of whether money
can really but happiness – if so, how much are you prepared
to pay? The ‘Spanish Hitchcock’ as Amenbar has been called,
will keep you guessing until the final frame.
