Blind Country

About This Movie

So, 'Blind Country' is an intriguing blend of comedy and fantasy, directed by Ericka Beckman. It’s based on H.G. Wells' story, but it's not just a straightforward adaptation; it dives into the absurdity of a sighted man's attempts to exert dominance in a world that defies his expectations. The film has this offbeat, almost surreal tone, with a pacing that feels both whimsical and contemplative. What stands out are the practical effects and the unique performances that really bring the blind society to life. The atmosphere? It’s something else—filled with a playful yet critical exploration of gender and power dynamics. It’s a distinctive piece, for sure, one that’s often overlooked in the conversation about late '80s cinema.
