Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

David Parkinson

This dazzling second feature from young Spanish film-maker Alejandro Amenábar stars Eduardo Noriega as wealthy playboy César, whose life begins to unravel following a disfiguring car crash. Noriega's superbly controlled performance conveys both resentment and vulnerability as César strives to make sense of a relentless sequence of increasingly disconcerting events. Criss-crossing genres and referencing such films as Vertigo and Eyes without a Face, this delirious treatise on appearance and reality, dreams and disappointments, requires total concentration right through to its dissatisfyingly glib dénouement. Cameron Crowe's remake, Vanilla Sky, stars Tom Cruise in the César role and Penélope Cruz.
