Blindness [DVD]

Based on the novel Essay on Blindness by Nobel Prize winner José Saramago



SYNOPSIS

A strange epidemic of blindness shakes a country. The first victims are locked up in a hospital without receiving any explanations or support. Among them is a woman (Julianne Moore) who, despite not having lost her vision, decides to keep it a secret so she can accompany her blind husband (Mark Ruffalo).



THEY HAVE SAID ABOUT HER...





"Magnificent address." (Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN)





"Powerful and provocative." (Stephen Shoefer, BOSTON HERALD)





"The beginning is disturbing and solid, it smells like good science fiction, which infects the stupor, helplessness and fear of those people who have stopped seeing reality and now only perceive a luminous whiteness." (Carlos Boyero, EL PAÍS)





"An excellent film (...) the story produces enormous anguish and confusion." (E. Rodríguez Marchante, ABC )





"The film succeeds in showing the degradation of the human being. And the fact is that under the vestiges of the society in which we live, the human being is still an animal (rational, but animal after all) and therefore when Something happens that breaks the pattern of life we lead, what happens?..." (Óscar Ferrer, SCIFIWORLDMAGAZINE)





"Perhaps BLINDLY marks a massive 'moment of life'... If so, fate would have placed it when we need it most." (Reyes Muñoz, EXPERPENTO)





"Meirelles puts a sweet and elegant little pill in the viewer's mouth with enough levels of reading to hook movie buffs and multiplex goers alike." (Raül de Tena, H MAGAZINE)
