Watch the First Five Minutes of 'Blindness'

Tomorrow, the new dystopian drama Blindness will arrive in theaters. It's been a long road for the adaptation of Jose Saramago's 1995 novel. The film first premiered at Cannes, on the festival's opening night in May. Reaction to it was not overwhelmingly positive, and we know what happens when audiences don't love a movie at a film festival (snip snip). So five months later, here we are again, with director Fernando Meirelles (City of God) helming the story of a blindness pandemic that leads to a total breakdown of society. Though we don't see them in this clip, there are some actors in Blindness whose work you're more than familiar with: Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Danny Glover, and Gael Garcia Bernal. Here's the first five minutes of Blindness, a clip that absolutely sets up the action that follows.
