Film ”Julia’s Eyes” (Los Ojos De Julia) will be shown on 8 March at 6.30 p.m. in Centre for Spanish Language and Culture in Sarajevo (Vrazova 2/1).
Julia’s Eyes is a critically acclaimed 2010 Spanish horror film directed by Guillem Morales and written by Morales and Oriol Paulo.
The film talks about a woman who is trying to unravel a mystery that she literally can no longer see in this thriller from Spanish filmmaker Guillem Morales. Julia (Bel (C)n Rueda) and her sister, Sara, have both inherited a medical condition that is slowly robbing them of their eyesight, with stress severely aggravating the condition. When Julia gets the news that Sara has died, she has a hard time believing the police report that she committed suicide, and she and her husband, Isaac (Llus Homar), begin looking into the matter.
As Julia examines the particulars of Sara’s death, she begins to suspect the actions of Sara’s neighbor Blasco (Boris Ruiz), his daughter, Lia (Andrea Hermosa), and an aged woman named Soledad (Julia Guti (C)rrez Caba). As Julia becomes more convinced that Sara’s neighbors were involved in her death, unpleasant events begin happening all around her, and as she comes closer to unraveling the knots that have tied up Sara’s death, Julia inches closer to total blindness. Produced in part by Guillermo del Toro, Los Ojos de Julia (aka Julia’s Eyes) was an official selection at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
The film is in Spanish with English subtitles
