    Decided to revisit Alejandro Amenábar's 1997 film OPEN YOUR EYES (Abre los ojos), a profound thriller about identity, trauma, and ego. Spectacular performances from Penélope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega. One of my favorite Spanish films. It is a million times better than VANILLA SKY. 🎥 #filmsky

    Interesting film, but I vastly prefer the the original film, "Open Your Eyes (a.k.a. "Abre los Ojos")." Give it a chance if you can. It also features Penelope Cruz, but alongside a much better cast.

    Oh 100%. The soundtrack is an INTEGRAL part to the experience and storytelling. And so fantastic in its own right. But Crowe’s work is often heavily music influenced. Also this one is based on a Spanish film called “Abre Los Ojos.” (Open Your Eyes)
