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.
