WAMG First Look at ‘Blindness’

A new film by producer/director Fernando Meirelles called Blindness is on its way to the threatre soon. The film is a semi-sci-fi thriller with a potentially interesting story. Julianne Moore, one of my favorite actresses, stars along side Mark Ruffalo, Alice Braga, Danny Glover, Sandra Oh and Gael Garcia Bernal. The film premieres on May 14 at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival and releases on September 19, 2008.

Plot Summary provided by IMDB: [A doctor’s wife becomes the only person with the ability to see in a town where everyone is struck with a mysterious case of sudden blindness. She feigns illness in order to take care of her husband as her surrounding community breaks down into chaos and disorder. Based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago.]
