MARK RUFFALO and Julianne Moore are traipsing through a rubbish-strewn urban wasteland, scavenging for salvation. All around them, dozens of pitiful humans dressed in filthy, mismatched clothes grope their way past wrecked cars and graffiti-splattered highway ramps, like dancers in some grotesque ballet of the damned.
It is not a pretty sight, but it is impossible to avert your eyes - which is exactly the point. The director, Fernando Meirelles, and his camera crew are gearing up to shoot another take of Blindness, a feature film based on the harrowing 1995 parable about an unnamed city stricken with a plague of sightlessness, by the Portuguese Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago. Like nearly everyone in the film, Ruffalo’s character, an ophthalmologist known simply as “the doctor”, is afflicted with a terrifying malady in which the eyes appear normal but are coated with a milky whiteness that blocks out vision.
Speculation was mounting last night that Brazilian film-maker Fernando Meirelles’ adaptation of Jose Saramago’s bestselling mystery Blindness will open the Cannes international film festival on May 14.
Meirelles’s latest offering was among a handful of notable absentees when the bulk of the competition and out-of-competition lineup was unveiled earlier this week. Blindness and Agnes Varda’s autobiographical documentary Les Plages d’Agnes are both ready and had been widely expected to secure berths in the festival.
Now it seems that Meirelles’ tale of a bizarre blindness pandemic may figure more prominently than had originally been predicted. Sources in the industry believe the film will open proceedings on the Croisette and take its place alongside Steven Soderbergh’s Che double feature, Clint Eastwood’s The Changeling and Wim Wenders’ The Palermo Shooting.
Meirelles’ sprawling Rio crime drama City of God screened at Cannes in 2002 and he followed that up three years later with his first English-language film The Constant Gardener.
Blindness stars Julianne Moore as the only person who is not affected by a blindness pandemic that afflicts an entire town. Mark Ruffalo, Gael Garcia Bernal, Danny Glover and Sandra Oh also star.
The teaser of Blindness was out today. I can’t wait to see this movie, because I’m a big fan of Fernando Meirelles and the movie has been filmed here in São Paulo, where I live.
Well, I didn’t configured a video archive yet because my real life is always calling me, but I’ve uploaded the trailer inside our gallery, so you can download it. I’ve also uploaded the official poster, and screencaptures.

The only person immune is Moore’s character, the doctor’s heroic, steadfast wife. As the story gathers speed, she must guide her husband and a small group of fellow sufferers (played by Danny Glover, Alice Braga and others) through a perilous obstacle course, in a society where order has collapsed, and humans are reduced to living like animals.
I finally added pictures from the upcoming movie “Blindness”, directed by Fernando Meirelles and starred by Mark, Julianne Moore, Gael García-Bernal, Danny Glover and Sandra Oh. The movie was filmed in Montevideo (Uruguay), São Paulo (Brazil) and Toronto (Canada), and I just found pictures from Brazil and Uruguay sets, taken in last September.
