Audience Member I liked it, the Ulrich Seidl-ish style. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Mike M There have been some exceptional films on blindness these past few years, as though - after a century of images - the medium has finally got around to working out how to credibly and accurately represent the physical and philosophical ramifications of what it is not to see. Gary Tarn's "Black Sun", the confession of a womaniser who lost his eye for the ladies, was possibly more startling on the isolation and solitude that can follow from blindness (and how it can be overcome), but Lehotsky's film is more moving, without being overly manipulative or sentimental, in its emphasis on companionship: these are individuals looking into, and approaching, the darkness together, holding hands because they both need to and want to.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A very touching film about four sets of blind lovers and how they live their daily lives etc. Its slow moving, but this works in helping the audience understand how the ingenius ways they deal with things that sighted people take for granted. It's interesting especially how the girl in the last story is so keen on having a boyfriend with 'blue eyes and brown hair' even though surely it wouldn't make any difference to her, and the ways in which cultural norms of attraction and use of the words 'did you see that' etc are adopted as normal. The thing about colours still confuses me though- so blind people understand what they are, and do they dream in visuals? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this at HKIFF 2009. The rude audiences said it was boring. I think it was romantic... especially the first story, about Peter, who played music. He couldn't see, but he imagined the world, the ocean with music. And the couple were so sweet... they took care of each other.... that most of us always forget to. And Miro was a blinded gypsy, fell in love with a girl who was half blinded and white. Miro said she must be very gorgeous. He loved her. Elena was going to be a mum, she prepared everything for the baby. When the sighted boy got old enough, he described every scene of a movie for his beloved mum. Zuzana was a very normal teenager, met a guy online, but worried if he would mind her blindness. I think the movie was well done, and the lighting was great. They wereblind, there were no light in their house, always at dark, but there were tricky ways.

Matters isn't be always visible. Sometimes, they can only be felt, and even more beautiful when being felt... Satisfied with what you have, and you will find that is the happiest way to live on~ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
