Am I suffering from BLINDNESS or does this trailer just not work for you either?
From the director of THE CONSTANT GARDNER and CITY OF GOD comes Fernando Meirelles' most mainstream film yet...
One of the worst experience of watching films in recent years was when I sat down and endured the sickly shot and vastly over-rated movie The Constant Gardner. I could understand the important message of the film, I thought it was decently acted but I couldn't help but feel director Fernando Meirelles was being a little self-indulgent with his film-making in his Hollywood debut. So frantic. So desperate to go to the next scene or shake the camera because it will add some tension. I hate to say this but the film felt like it was fraud, I dunno I just couldn't buy into it at all and it made me feel a little sick. I struggled through it like a visit to the dentist. So brings us to the director's next movie Blindness about a sudden epidemic where the people randomly in a certain town are starting to turn blind.
Ultra-boring thriller actress Julianne Moore (I think she sucks in this genre anyway), Mark Ruffalo, Gael Garcia Bernal, Danny Glover and Alice Braga make-up the cast. Looks sickly as ever. I don't know why but there is something about the way this guy makes movies that I really don't like. I'm getting a Children of Mine vibe with this flick but it doesn't look half as interesting to me...Look for this one in October - you could always pass the time before then by reading the Jose Saramengo novel upon which the film is based.
