Blindness is an apocalyptic nightmare, adapted from the Nobel laureate José Saramango's novel by City Of God director Fernando Meirelles. Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffallo and Danny Glover are amongst the inhabitants of an unnamed city whose inhabitants are suddenly plagued by 'white blindness'. 'Blindness is a drum-tight drama, with superb, hallucinatory, images of urban collapse. It has a real coil of horror at its centre, yet is lightened with gentleness and humour. It reminded me of George A Romero's Night Of The Living Dead, and Peter Shaffer's absurdist stage-play Black Comedy. This is bold, masterly, film-making.', (Peter Bradshaw, 'The Guardian')
