Preview: Blindsight (2008)

Poster: C
Review:
For a documentary, the poster's decidedly better than average. As a poster, it's hardly remarkable. The title, when placed with the film's subject is easily understood, a more firm understanding of the trailer is required to understand its link with the image displayed.
Trailer: C+
Review:
It's an interesting choice for a documentary, exploring the conviction of several mountaineers wishing to bring hope and joy into the lives of blind Tibetans who are outcasts of their own society. Unfortunately, while I was watching this, I kept thinking about how many generations have been intermixed to generate so many blind children. It's an epidemic for them it seems. That kind of distraction won't help viewing the docu unless they actually detail the cause.
Oscar Prospects:
This is the kind of inspiration documentary that Oscar voters love to recognize. I can imagine it getting a nomination, but the Academy's recent trend towards the controversial may inhibit its chances of winning.
Release Date:
March 5, 2008
