Degrees of Blindness

About This Movie

Degrees of Blindness is a curious little documentary from '88 that pulls you into this surreal exploration of vision through a poetic lens—literally. It uses experimental techniques that might feel a bit disorienting at first, but that's part of its charm. The atmosphere is thick with abstraction, encouraging viewers to rethink how they see the world. There's a sort of haunting quality to the visuals, and the pacing is deliberately slow, allowing time for contemplation. What struck me was how it captures that Blakean spirit of perception, bringing a philosophical angle to what we often take for granted. It's not flashy or conventional, but that’s what makes it distinctive in the landscape of documentary films.

Experimental techniques used throughout. · Captivating exploration of philosophical themes. · Atmospheric visuals that linger in the mind.
