going to see blindness

Jose Saramago is a gifted, important writer whose stuff we all should be reading. All of it. And so it is with giddy, anxious ardency I await the screen adaptation of his book Blindness. The cast: Gael Garcia Bernal, Mark Ruffalo, Danny Glover, Sandra Oh, and a blond Julianne Moore. Slated for September 2008.
