Degrees of Blindness

About This Movie

Degrees of Blindness is a curious little documentary from '88 that pulls you into this surreal exploration of vision through a poetic lens—literally. It uses experimental techniques that might feel a bit disorienting at first, but that's part of its charm. The atmosphere is thick with abstraction, encouraging viewers to rethink how they see the world. There's a sort of haunting quality to the visuals, and the pacing is deliberately slow, allowing time for contemplation. What struck me was how it captures that Blakean spirit of perception, bringing a philosophical angle to what we often take for granted. It's not flashy or conventional, but that’s what makes it distinctive in the landscape of documentary films.

Experimental techniques used throughout.Captivating exploration of philosophical themes.Atmospheric visuals that linger in the mind.
