From the Toronto Star:
The Cannes Film Festival has selected Blindness, produced by Toronto’s Niv Fichman, for its coveted opening night slot on May 14, the Toronto Star has learned.
In this dark $25 million epic, an unnamed city is struck by a plague in which 90 per cent of the population go blind. Julianne Moore stars as one of the few people who are immune, struggling to take care of her husband played by Mark Ruffalo. Some of the characters, quarantined in an asylum for the insane, band together and fight for their human rights.
The movie is set for release in September. Trailer below.
