Description

This October, The Frida Cinema is proud to present Beautiful Monsters: A Guillermo del Toro Film Retrospective and Tribute Art Show, featuring all eleven of the Academy Award-winning director’s feature films; three acclaimed films he produced; and seven films that served to inspire him. The series continues at The Frida Cinema with Julia's Eyes, a Spanish horror film directed by Guillem Morales. One day, Julia Levin randomly collapses, sensing a deeply malevolent occurrence. She soon discovers the cause: her blind twin sister, Sara, had just committed suicide. As she investigates the opaque circumstances surrounding her sister’s unforeseen death, Julia encounters a series of mysterious characters with whom she must decide whether or not to trust. All the while, her own eyesight continues to worsen to the point of dependency. A series of tightly held truths come to light, but will Julia’s eyes be able to see them?
