A woman has to face multiple challenges: the loss of her vision, the mystery of her sister's death who also shared her illness, and the gradual weakening of mutual trust in the people who until recently she considered close.
A thriller of the classic recipe, ridiculous exactly as much as it should be and with a generous amount of intrigue and mystery. Set in motion by convincing actors, some quite talented, with a mysterious atmosphere maintained by a perfectly tuned rhythm and a cinematography rich in autumn colors, Los Ojos De Julia manages to keep the viewer interested up to the end in a constant feeling of curiosity and impatience that are well maintained. Warning: the unspoken rule known by the whole cinephilic community (especially horrorphilic!) that torture applied to the eye never takes place explicitly on the screen (Un Chien Andalou doesn't count) is ostentatiously violated.
