Overview

Having recently lost her sight, Ingrid retreats to the safety of her home—a place where she can feel in control, alone with her husband and her thoughts. After a while, Ingrid starts to feel the presence of her husband in the flat when he is supposed to be at work. At the same time, her lonely neighbor who has grown tired of even the most extreme pornography shifts his attention to a woman across the street. Ingrid knows about this but her real problems lie within, not beyond the walls of her apartment, and her deepest fears and repressed fantasies soon take over.

Viewing Notes

A gorgeously filmed story with a great central character, Blind rewards you for paying attention. It’s not immediately obvious what is real and what is made up throughout much of the movie, though you begin to understand more as it progresses.

Blind felt a bit out of place at the festival, and I’m not sure I would really classify it as a genre film at all, but it was still an intriguing watch and an engrossing story.
