Jose Saramago's novel "Blindness" is now a movie. It's gotten mixed reviews, and although I haven't seen it yet, I'm looking forward to it. The director is Fernando Meirelles, who directed "Cidade de Deus," my favorite gangster flick of all time... I'll post some more about Saramago tomorrow...he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998, and passed away last year leaving a huge body of work I've only just discovered. Some authors should never have their work turn into movies...and he might be one of them...
