Blindness at Cannes

BlindnessOpening at the 61st annual Cannes Film Festival tonight will be a film by Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles. Blindess, is an apocalyptic thriller about a plague of blindness that sweeps the world, save a doctor’s wife in a small town. Doesn’t that sound terribly fascinating?? I am chomping at the bit after reading that little tidbit of information… I can’t wait to get an opportunity to see this little beauty.

Blindness stars, Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo. Meirelles is known for his direction of The Constant Gardener in 2005.

    I agree its sounds VERY good - as well I love the key actors which is a plus.

    I read the book… you won’t be disappointed! I’m interested in seeing how well this translates to film. The book has a very disorrienting narrative (due to, well, all the blindness).

Got something to say?
