Here is a little right up I got off of the Alliance Films trailer page for this movie so you can have a peak at what it is basically about and who you are going to see in this movie.

Alliance Films – Blindness

Starring:

Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Gael Garcia Bernal, Sandra Oh, Danny Glover, Alice Brage, Don McKellar, Martha Burns, Maury Chaykin

Synopsis:

Adapted from Nobel Laureate Jose Saramago’s masterwork, BLINDNESS is a harrowing tale about the fragility of mankind.  Directed by the Academy Award® nominated (City Of God) Fernando Meirelles, from a screenplay by the Tony Award® winning (The Drowsy Chaperone) Don McKellar, BLINDNESS stars Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Alice Braga, Danny Glover and Gael Garcia Bernal.

Evocative of the recent SARS epidemic, or occurrences in the New Orleans Super Dome during Hurricane Katrina, BLINDNESS takes place in a city which is ravaged by an epidemic of instant “white blindness”. Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created “society of the blind” quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hording the meager food rations and committing horrific acts.

There is, however, one eyewitness to the nightmare; a woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble. Their voyage is fraught with danger, yet their survival and ultimate redemption reflect the tenacity and depth of the human spirit.

BLINDNESS reminds us of the shocking fragility of our social institutions, the thin veneer of our “civilized” world, and the responsibility for every individual to protect their dignity at all costs.

Now I don’t know about you but with this cast line up and the story line of this film I know this is going to be a great thriller to watch this fall, one your not going to want to miss.

    Its a Canadian film believe it or not – it stars Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore, and Danny Glover who are all American, and the director is Brazilian, but everyone else is a Canuck – most of this flick was shot in Toronto.
