Blindness


Jullianne Moore stars in this adaptation of Jose Saramago's gripping masterpiece in which a plague of blindness overtakes the residents of her entire city. All sense of order breaks loose in the mental hospital where the blind are being quarantined, and it's up to a woman (Moore) who's keeping her sight a secret to lead a group safely to the streets. Also stars Mark Ruffalo, Sandra Oh and Danny Glover.
What can I say? This was just a bizarre movie, weirdly filmed. it never explained why she was the only person to have not lost their sight, and what was causing it to begin with. I don't like when movies don't answer the all-important questions and leave you hanging.
