Over three decades after the release of his previous feature, revered Spanish director Víctor Erice ("The Spirit of the Beehive," "El Sur") returns with a haunting and profoundly personal meditation on memory, absence, and the enduring resonance of the moving image.“Spanish director Víctor Erice’s fourth film in 50 years, 'Close Your Eyes' is the culmination of one of the most legendary careers in modern cinema, following the masterpieces 'The Spirit of the Beehive,' 'El Sur,' and 'The Quince Tree Sun.' In this elegiac personal epic about time, memory, and, of course, the movies, an aging filmmaker named Miguel (Manolo Solo) is reluctantly pulled back into a decades-old mystery connected to his final, unfinished work, titled 'The Farewell Gaze.' During production, his leading actor and close friend, Julio (Jose Coronado), vanished and was never heard from again; in the process of trying to track him down so many years later, Miguel must come to terms with his own past, his present life, and the irrevocably changed processes of his art form. Featuring captivating performances from a cast that also includes Ana Torrent ('Beehive'’s unforgettable child star) in a moving role as Julio’s grown daughter, 'Close Your Eyes' is a poignant, summative work that finds original ways to remind viewers of the moving image’s ability to reach across time.” -New York Film Festival
