Open Eyes

In the city with the highest suicide rate and where people don’t look to each other’s eyes, a gaze between two strangers could change the course of the day.

Directed by Martín Aletta, Open Eyes leans on a strong ensemble — Chizuru Lee, Kajima Shozen, Junshin Soga — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2013.
