Winner of a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Blue Eyelids (Parpados Azules) is a startlingly original debut exploring the quest for love, from a major new force in world cinema, Ernesto Contreras. Marina (Cecilia Suarez) wins an all-expenses-paid holiday for two through a lottery at her work. Unable to find any friend who could accompany her, she decides on Victor (Enrique Arreola), who she meets in a coffee bar. Over the course of a series of dates, Contreras presents the difficulties of finding happiness in the modern world. With a nod to the deadpan comedy of Aki Kaurismaki and Tsai-Ming Liang, and featuring music by Ray Davies, Blue Eyelids is a heartfelt, subtly nuanced drama that marks out Ernesto Contreras as a director to watch.

Thank you!
The item came ultra fast and worked brilliantly. Thank you for brilliant service. The film itself is a gorgeous little Mexican boy-meets-girl story given a new lease of life. I quickly fell in love with Marina (Cecilia Suárez) who gives an amazing performance throughout. A brilliant example of the pure awkwardness of dating and finding love with beautiful cinematography and cultural reference. Marina and Victor know very little about each other and seemingly very little about themselves, but lust for the companionship of another person. A film that shows real human emotion and is a sweet and awkward little film by Conteras.
