BLINDNESS (2008)
Doctor's Wife: "The only thing more terrifying than blindness is being the only one who can see."
When a contagion – the White Sickness – sweeps through a city it renders all who come into contact with it blind.
Julianne Moore plays the doctor’s wife who accompanies her sightless husband (Mark Ruffalo) into the makeshift secure hospital where a desperate government has hastily dumped the sufferers.
Less a thriller and more a disturbing study of social breakdown, director Fernando “City of God” Mereilles’ cautionary drama offers a nightmarish vision of just how close we are to a brutal state of anarchy.
