Basically, Blindness is about the plight of a woman who finds herself the leader of a group of blind people within an institution. Most of humanity has gone blind as the result of some strange disease but the heroine, played in the film by Julianne Moore, is immune — and only her husband knows it. The first afflicted have been locked into quarantine, where anarchy soon reigns, once the guards lose their sight as well.
The book was excellent, and though I’m normally wary of films made out of much-loved novels, I’m putting my faith into this one. The cast is great — Mark Ruffalo and Gabriel Gael Bernal also star — and director Fernando Meirelles (City of God, Constant Gardener) is no slouch, either.
Blindness arrives in theaters in September.
