Strange... But still very good, 8 April 2009
With "Blindness," Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles dispenses with the polite approach of "The Constant Gardener" in favor of the gritty, daring style of his acclaimed "City of God." Adapted by Don McKellar from Jose Saramago's novel about a sudden epidemic of sightlessness, the film is an often dreary allegory for these uncertain, perilous times. Visually nervy, beautifully acted, intense and philosophically compelling, it struggles to connect emotionally as it wrestles with the challenging source material. It opens in an unnamed major city as people start suffering total white blindness; the government, fearing infection, herds the early victims into quarantine camps. At one camp the afflicted include an ophthalmologist (Mark Ruffalo) accompanied by his wife (Julianne Moore), who's faking blindness to stay with her husband. It later turns out she might be the only person in the world with vision. As it becomes more fetid and desperate, the fend-for-itself camp becomes a symbol for humanity's historical inhumanity. A group led by an ex-bartender (Gael Garcia Bernal) commandeers the food rations, demanding valuables and sex. The ensuing scenes are nearly overwhelming despite being shot in near darkness, a sensory-deprivation gambit that is mostly successful. The last act, as a band of camp survivors makes its way through the eerie city searching for shelter and nourishment, vaguely points to a redefined society in which blindness is a fundamental equalizer.
