Product Description

Product Description

Ingrid can see in her dreams. The way the world around her looks, her husband s office, their favourite restaurant... memories. It s when Ingrid wakes each morning and opens her eyes that she suddenly remembers she is blind. With her life dramatically changed, Ingrid has retreated to the safety of her apartment where she can feel in control once again. Her imagination becomes her reality - her deepest fantasies, desires and fears provide a constant internal monologue. Inventing her own world to substitute the one she has lost. But how can Ingrid make sense of all that is happening to her and who can she trust now? Winner of the World Cinema Screenwriting Award at Sundance Film Festival and Best European Film at Berlin Film Festival, BLIND, the directorial debut of acclaimed screenwriter Eskil Vogt (Reprise, Oslo, August 31st), is a playful, touching and provocative story of a young woman s journey to rediscover herself, her husband and the life that she once knew.

Special Features Contains Interview with Writer/Director Eskil Vogt; Blind at Sundance Film Festival; Music Video: "Lantern" by The White Birch; Trailers.

4.0 out of 5 starsNorwegian Film on the stress of sight loss
By Tommy Dooley TOP 50 REVIEWER on 12 Aug. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Ingrid has lost her sight and has taken to being a recluse in her apartment where she feels safe removed from what she once knew. Her husband is appearing to become more and more distant and she is alone in a World where she feels she will never go outside again- spending her days in front of a window with a view she will never see.

Now if that isn't bad enough she also fantasizes about what could happen and the film can be a bit surreal at times. There is also a fair bit of porn on show here and some nudity - but they are incidental themes and not the main thrust of the film.

We have lots of imagined moments and one is often left bewildered as to what has actually happened. As a study in the mental anguish of being blind - you would have to have experienced it yourself to be able to comment. As a visual representation of being blind it does come across as both relevant and moving. In Norwegian with good sub titles - this runs to 91 minutes; this is a good and well made film, but it will be far from everyone's cup of tea and you should avoid totally if you are looking for anything even slightly in the realms of a `feel good' film.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent debut
By technoguy VINE VOICE on 17 Aug. 2015
Format: DVD
Interesting first feature by acclaimed Norwegian screenwriter Eskil Vogt who has worked with Joachim Trier( Oslo,1st August [2011]) about a beautiful blonde woman Ingrid(Petersen)who has just gone blind. It is an exploration about identity, reality vs. fiction, what the world looks like vs one’s memory of the world. With the loss of control comes withdrawal into one’s own mind space, then imagination as reality, with a dialogue between fantasies, desires and fears. How can one adapt to this new reality and who can one trust? Does her partner smile when he sees her, does he find her attractive, is he unfaithful, is he watching her in secret? Her inner life is explored through her telling stories on her laptop, of infidelity and online pornography from her paranoia and anxieties about her relationship with her architect husband,Morten. The visual conception of the scenes is complicated when reality and fiction( she creates two characters,Elin[Vitali] and Einar[Kolbenstvedt]) merge with Ingrid and Morten. These are alternate versions of herself and her husband. Her husband especially gets to meet Elin, a blonde single mother, having an online affair and sex with her. He also gets to meet Einar, an old friend,though they’ve lost touch.Einar is a slob and watches a lot of online porn; he also spies on his neighbour Elin. He also chats her up.

Vogt films the loneliness of human beings, cut off from reality and relationships like Einar, and Ingrid through her loss of sight, incapable of establishing a mutual relationship with her husband, unable to share her inner thoughts with him. He also depicts the solitude of the writer. She inflicts blindness on Elin and we get to see the effect on her relationship with Morten.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsAn intelligent and playful exploration of perception. Fluid editing, visually striking and an imaginative film
By dipesh parmar TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 1 Nov. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Writer/director Eskil Vogt debuts with ‘Blind’, where Ingrid (Ellen Dorrit Petersen) has recently lost her vision and faces an uncertain future.

Ingrid is unable to cope with the outside world, spending her days indoors. Alone with her thoughts whilst her husband Morten (Henrik Rafaelsen) works, Ingrid’s days are occupied with daydreams and elaborate stories of her own making. Elin (Vera Vitali) is a single mother, Einar (Marius Kolbenstvedt) is a lonely man. Their lives intertwine, but not in the way you would imagine.

Vogt plays games with you, its difficult to know if Elin and Einar are real, or of Ingrid’s making. They both appear to be even lonelier than Ingrid, who’s grappling with a fear of being left by her husband, but also the thought of having children. She substaniates these anxieties through Elin, her alter ego who becomes involved in some ridiculous and sometimes humiliating situations. You glide between different people, unstable shifts in undetermined situations all appear completely reasonable.

Apart from an unnecessary side story regarding the tragic massacre committed in Norway by Anders Brevik, ‘Blind’ is an intelligent and playful exploration of perception. Its a visually striking and imaginative film, and Vogt’s fluid editing seems effortless.

4.0 out of 5 starsSmart, Intelligent, Complex and imaginative!!!
By LEON HITTER on 28 Nov. 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Blind is a Norwegian film about 4 sad and lonely individuals all interconnected in small ways. All the individuals have their own unique problems, but all with the same result. The main character is a recently blind woman called Ingrid, who struggles to deal with her new found disability and shuts herself away from the world in her flat. Her Husband Morten is one of the 3 secondary characters, he seems to be losing patience with his wife and maybe put off by her disability. Einar is another character an unattractive guy, a loner, who yearns yet struggles to form friendships and relationships and has an addiction to porn as a substitute for a lack of female company. Finally we have Elin another lonely Woman who moved from Sweden 10 years previous to study and has since been through a divorce and lacks friends and feels isolated. We follow their lives as they interconnect over the course of the film, but the narrative goes in a surprising and unexpected way that's smart and intelligent and to say more would be to spoil the film.
I thought this film was great. It's smart and intelligent film making that makes the viewer think, especially with it's smart turns in plot. The film is imaginative and we can into the inner working of the mind of Ingrid as she struggles to come to terms with her blindness. Some of the film is even surreal and done extremely well. The script is great and the acting top notch. I've only seen one of the actors before, the actress who plays Elin, Vera Vitali in Arne Dahl, she very good but so is the whole cast in this film. You really get to feel the emotions from the cast for their characters. The film is shot very well too and looks very good. So I would recommend this to people who like smart, intelligent, complex and imaginative drama, very good.
