Directed by renowned filmmaker Víctor Erice who has provided us with masterpieces like ‘The Spirit of the Beehive’ and ‘El Sur’, and 30 years after his Cannes prize-winning ‘The Quince Tree Sun’, CLOSE YOUR EYES, is a compelling reflection about identity, memory, and filmmaking.
A famous Spanish actor, Julio Arenas, disappears while shooting a film. Although his body is never found, the police conclude that he’s been the victim of an accident by the sea.
Close Your Eyes starts from many years after the incident.
The mystery surrounding Julio Arenas’ disappearance is brought back into the spotlight by a sensationalist TV programme outlining his life, and death, and showing exclusive images of the last scenes he filmed, shot by his dear friend, the director Miguel Garay.
‘Close Your Eyes meanders and twists and turns, it is expansive, garrulous and yet also downbeat and pessimistic.’ – The Guardian ★★★★☆
