VANILLA SKY (2001)

Cast

Plot

David Aames has it all, but true love still eludes him, one night he believes he may have found the woman of his dreams but fate is about to deal him a brutal blow. David's rarified existence comes to a shuddering halt when he accepts a lift from an insanely jealous lover and as reality and fantasy begin to blur he is in danger of losing his sanity. Vanilla Sky is a remake of the Spanish film "Open Your Eyes" and despite my scepticism it is a gripping piece of cinema, impeccably performed, directed and the final denouement, though undeniably a head messer, at least helps you make sense of the madness. Mainstream cinema doesn't get much better.
