Anyone ever seen this? It’s the Spanish-language film which was later remade as “Vanilla Sky”. Fantastic, amazing movie.

“What is happiness to you?”

“Open your eyes.”

I’ve got that movie. I found it quite moving. (And actually thought _Vanilla Sky_ was good too; interesting to see Penelope Cruz playing the same role in both versions.)

I saw it at the end of my tenth grade Spanish class. I enjoyed it, as I did “Vanilla Sky” (I think I’m one of the few who did). All in all, aside from L’Appartement, I thought it was the best foreign movie I’ve ever seen (although, by no means am I an afficianado).
