Cannes, France–The first night of the 61st edition of the Cannes Film Festival opened with the gripping movie, Blindness, based on the novel by the Nobel-winning author, José Saramago. With a stellar cast, including Julianne Moore and Gael Garcia Bernal, the film tells of humanity under siege as, one by one, inhabitants of a city succumb to an epidemic of white blindness. This is set to be one of fall’s must-see movies.
