Blindness (2007)
10/10
Beneath the darkness there is tremendous light ,and truth is between
16 June 2008
Beneath the darkness there is tremendous light, and truth is between the lines. Two characters who fall in love because the circumstances and characters are perfect for each. One is physically blind and relies on sound,touch and has a tremendous courage and love to experience life fully. The other is spiritually blind and relies on all his senses and need for the other's physical blindness to conceal his own fragility : his shyness, weak ego and shattered self esteem.

Their meeting is an opportunity for growth and love till circumstances change.

This film is very successful and deals with the human condition of these characters. The acting was excellent with great character development and arc. The directing seemed very generous in it's contribution to help explore the human condition of these characters. The music was sensitive and supportive of the delicate moments in this story. It literally moved me.

In short: BLINDNESS is a SUPERB ACHIEVEMENT!

I foresee they will get distribution for it in the near future.

I also hope to see more work from both of the actors and director.
