Coming Soon: Blindness (the film)
I read this book after Saramago won the Nobel Prize. It was enthralling and haunting. I'm not sure about this film version. The positive is that the director is the same guy who did The Constant Gardener which is a great film. The negative (at least for me) is that Julianne Moore is in it. I don't mind her as a side character in films (such as Children of Men), but when she is a main character in films, they tend to plod along. I have tried several of her films and am always left with the same feeling.
So unless this film gets absolutely glowing reviews, I'll wait til DVD.
