LIVING IS EASY WITH EYES CLOSED
Dir: David Trueba Spain 108 mins
Cast: Javier Cámara, Natalia de Molina, Francesc Colomer. with Engl. subtitles
It is 1966 in Albacete, Spain. English teacher and die-hard Beatles fan Antonio decides to go on a road trip to Almería in the hope of meeting John Lennon, who is shooting a film there. On the way he picks up two hitch-hikers, Juanjo and Belén.
This unlikely trio form a bond and decide to follow their dreams in hopes of finding their freedom. By the end, the title, [a reference to “Strawberry Fields Forever,”] reveals itself as appropriate and earned. In Antonio, we see someone living with his eyes opened, and we come away hoping that, in their future lives, his two young friends will do the same.
