In keeping up with all things Cannes - I’m actually pretty excited to announce that Fernando Meirelles’s new film Blindness is going to open the festival. Meirelles’s is known for City of God and The Constant Gardener - the former looking at at the politics of a specific place and the latter looking at larger socio-economic and cultural issues.
Opening Cannes on May 14, and playing in Competition, “Blindness” stars Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Danny Glover and Gael Garcia Bernal in a thriller about a city succumbing to an epidemic of blindness. [Variety]
to learn how you can help the blind today - since were not in an epidemic at the moment 
- and go below the fold to see the trailers for Meirelles’s older films.
