Synopsis
The Constant Gardener director Fernando Meirelles joins forces with Canadian writer/director/actor Don McKellar to bring Portuguese Nobel Prize winner José Saramago's 1995 novel to the big screen in this large-scale philosophical thriller. An epidemic of blindness pushes society to the breaking point after sweeping through a modern metropolis and crossing borders into the outside world. A Brazilian/Canadian co-production shot in São Paulo and Toronto, Blindness features a script by producer and co-star McKeller, who optioned the novel alongside Rhombus Media's Niv Fichman. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
