Is this a re-release? Previously the R4 DVD was the only anamorphic DVD.

R1 is cheap as chips too from pacific and deepdiscount.

I'm still reluctant to go near this film, after how meh I found Vanilla Sky to be. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt though, The Others was a pretty good thriller.

Does Penelope get her tits out in this one too?

Penelope Cruz gets her tits out in half the films she does! But to answer your question, IIRC she does.

Abre Los Ojos is much better than Vanilla Sky, Cameron Crowe was the wrong director to remake it, he turned it into a light frothy drama. The original is much more tense and darker in tone, plus you have the added advantage of not having to put up with Tom Cruise's smug performance!

Yes to tits but I disagree the Crowe version is light, lighter yes but no way light. I liked both and thought it was an admirable remake. He was probably the wrong person though.

The original is darker though and contains one extra scene which (works rather well) cut from the remake. I have both.
