Standard Screen; Additional Footage; Bio/Filmographies; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles Handsome 25-year-old César (Eduardo Noriega) has it all--a successful career, expensive cars, a swank bachelor's pad, and an endless string of beautiful and willing women. Unfortunately, he can't get rid of his latest conquest, Nuria (Najwa Nimri) soon enough. When she crashes his birthday party, César uses his best friend Pelayo's stunningly attractive girlfriend, Sofia (Penélope Cruz), as a means to her. The next morning, Nuria is waiting in her car outside his apartment and manages to coax him into the vehicle. The next thing César knows, he's wearing a mask to conceal a horrible disfiguration while being interrogated in a prison held on a murder charge. Alejandro Amenábar's thriller distorts both the viewer's and César's perception of reality with a series of mind-bending plot twists, ensuring that this intriguing Spanish production will keep you guessing until its final moments.

-- Tom Dawson, Total Film "...Intricate thriller..." -- Rating: B
-- Entertainment Weekly Staff, Entertainment Weekly "...OPEN YOUR EYES is a film with enough intellectual meat on its stylish bones to give more adventurous moviegoers something to chew on afterward..."

A thrilling examination on beauty in culture.
"Open your Eyes" the movie on which "Vanilla Sky" was based, is marvelous. It has to be seen more than once to get a full grasp of the heavy tapestry of interwoven plot dimensions. A man, whose charm for women results in his eventual, or assumed downfall, gets a second chance at love, but with this opportunity, life, or rather reality shifts between old pains of deformity and alienation, and the insanity of not believing in what you see. This movie brings up the question," Is beauty all that we choose to see, or all that there truly is? " I recommend this title to anyone with a desire for a movie that will keep you guessing. ( I know that sounds very cliche, but it's true)

This is the Spanish (and earlier) Version of Vanilla Sky. This is better than that Holliwood Flick. Good plot.

This beautifully filmed, expertly acted movie about two 17-year-old, middle-class Mexican boys on summer break is deceivingly complex. The basic plot of the film is that best friends Tenoch (Diego Luna, BEFORE NIGHT FALLS) and Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal, AMORES PERROS), who think of nothing but sex, convince a beautiful 28-year-old woman, Luisa (Maribel Verdu), to go on a road trip with them to a nonexistent beach. They get lost. They flirt and giggle and fawn over Luisa hoping to win her over with their boyish charms. And that's about it. But that simple plotline merely provides structure for the poetry and meaning that is woven into the film with photography and narration. Periodically throughout the film, while the action continues normally, the sound stops. A voice over then gives information--sometimes a brief biography of one of the characters (birth date, name of father and mother, consequences of birth, primary childhood experiences), or a note about what each of the characters is really thinking, or a news report or historical comment that brings Mexico's tangled politics into the context ...

Director Ron Howard delivers his finest effort with his extraordinary film, A BEAUTIFUL MIND, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2001. Based loosely on Sylvia Nasar's acclaimed biography of mathematician John Forbes Nash, the film is a compelling look at one man's genius, his debilitating mental illness, and the fine line between the two. A BEAUTIFUL MIND begins with Nash (Russell Crowe) at Princeton, where he struggles to think of an original idea, and the stroke of genius that will make him matter. Nash is eccentric, socially awkward, and extremely competitive. Eventually, he finds the inspiration for his innovative and influential work on game theory. He's chosen for a post at MIT, which includes crucial code-breaking work for the US government. There, he meets a beautiful and brilliant student, Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). They marry but their ...

This offbeat historical drama is another in a line of hard-to-categorize films from cult director Alex Cox. Ed Harris stars as William Walker, an idealistic doctor, lawyer, and journalist who, at age 32, led a bloody revolution and installed himself as president of Nicaragua under orders from Cornelius Vanderbilt (Peter Boyle). Harris's performance is terrific, the violence is effective and well-used, and the film conveys an uncompromising political viewpoint without ever lapsing into preachiness.
A hallucinatory biopic that breaks all cinematic conventions, Walker, from director Alex Cox, tells the story of nineteenth-century American adventurer William Walker (Ed Harris), ...
