Abre los Ojos ****
Spain: Alejandro Amenábar, 1997 This is the first film I've seen by Alejandro Amenábar, and you can colour me suitably impressed. Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes) starts out in a relatively mundane way and proceeds to get trippier and trippier as it goes. A wonderful mindfuck that blends fantasy and reality in a wonderfully seamless manner, Abre Los Ojos benefits from a great cast, a wonderful score (co-written by Amenábar) and a truly dreamy atmosphere courtesy of some superb cinematography. To say any more would spoil much of what makes this film so good - the experience of not knowing what is going on - so I'll shut up now and advise you all to check out this gem ASAP. IMDB reference

Movies
Welcome to the movie checklist!
This section is an archive listing every movie I've seen from January 1 2005 onwards. Films I have already seen are included and will be marked with a (*), but probably won't be reviewed except under special circumstances. I will be including a rating for each film (in stars, out of 5), and hope to be able to include a brief 1-2 paragraph review of each film, although due to time constraints that won't always be possible.
