Join us this friday!

The film will be Open Your Eyes (1997), a Spanish film by Alejandro Amenábar, starring Penélope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega. This film has a reputation for being mind-blowing, and for good reason. It is the basis for the American remake known as Vanilla Sky (2001), which I hope you have NOT seen yet. The Spanish version is not necessarily more enjoyable (this comes down to individual taste), but it is the original version and at least one lens though which Vanilla Sky becomes a more interesting film to watch.

So whether you have seen Vanilla Sky already, or Vanilla Sky is a film that you plan on seeing, join us this Friday, September 3 at noon in 560 SRC to view the unique and, at times, terrifying Open Your Eyes. With the recent popularity of Inception, this film should be of interest to anyone fascinated by the life of the mind and the nature of dreams. I will be cooking popcorn and serving sodas!
