    Abre los Ojos has an interesting story with a few twist and great performance by Eduardo Noriega and Penelope Cruz. The direction and the music by Anemabar is excellent. A worth of watch.

    After a handsome playboy suffers a disfiguring accident, he finds it increasingly difficult to distibguish reality from his nightmares. Well-scripted mindbender has emotional depth and carries the viewer along to a conclusion that successfully ties up loose ends. In Spanish with subtitles.

    O original que deu origem ao Vanilla Sky. Pode ser de ter visto depois do americano mas gostei maisdo remake que do original. Não deixa de ser uma excelente produção espanhola.

    As usual, Hollywood tried to do a remake (Vanilla Sky) and the result wasn't as good as the original. If you haven't seen "Vanilla Sky", then see "Abre los ojos" instead! The details in the story are better, and Penelope Cruz is actually hotter in this one (she plays the same role in both movies!).

    Esta pelicula literalmente me "abrio los ojos" respecto al cine hecho fuera de Hollywood que no fuese drama. Amenabar demostro como filmar una pelicula increible de ciencia ficcion, gastando apenas unas pesetas (no se si en 1997 ya habian cambiado moneda). Bien construida, una pelicula perfecta.

    Much better than that Vanilla Sky. The Hollywood version isn't as good at all.
