Open Your Eyes Movie Review 1997

Reality gets taken for a mind-bending spin in this Spanish thriller. Gorgeous womanizer, Cesar (Noriega), meets equally gorgeous Sofia (Cruz) and thinks he's finally found the one. Only his crazy ex-girlfriend Nuria (Nimri) causes a car crash that kills her and disfigures Cesar. He awakens in a prison hospital wearing a mask, accused of murder, and with confused memories. But maybe he's had an operation to restore his looks and is actually back together with Sofia but then Cesar keeps seeing Nuria's ghost. So just what is going on? Spanish with subtitles.
