"Open Your Eyes", released in 1999, was written by Alejandro Amanabar and 
Mateo Gil and directed by Alejandro Amandabar.

It was shown at the Sundance Film  Festival in 1998.

"Of all the films that emerged from the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, none 
caused me to ponder, wonder, and puzzle more than Alejandro Amenabar's 
sophomore feature, Open Your Eyes. Film of this intelligence, audacity, and 
complexity come along so rarely that it's mandatory to cry out their 
arrival. Saving Private Ryan may be the best movie I saw in 1998, but Open 
Your Eyes was the most original. (Note: North American distribution was 
delayed from the originally planned October 1998 to April 1999.) It is a 
piece of cinema that will have viewers guessing and questioning from 
beginning to end."  http://movie-reviews.colossus.net/movies/o/open_eyes.html

While I don't pay too much professional attention to films these days, I 
was a stringer writer for several years for the Hollywood Reporter and I 
wrote about films.

I do know that there is much to discuss with filmography, but let's not get 
carried away on conspiracy theory and angered by critique.

"Vanilla Sky" is a good film, has much to say about Impressionism and, in 
my opinion, is not a bad view of cryonics.

Best,

Natasha
