The Inwardly Blind

About This Movie

The Inwardly Blind is a curious piece from '82, steeped in an atmosphere that's both haunting and unsettling. The film takes a hard stance against the Mojahedin Khalq, weaving a narrative that's heavy on political commentary, yet strangely personal. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, allowing moments of tension to linger. While we don't know much about the director, the performances are notable for their raw intensity, capturing the inner turmoil of the characters in a way that feels very real. It leans heavily on practical effects, adding a grittiness that complements its themes of disillusionment and betrayal; you can really feel the weight of the message it’s trying to convey.

Finding a copy of The Inwardly Blind can be a challenge, as it hasn’t seen widespread distribution since its initial release. Its rarity is part of what draws collectors, as it represents a unique perspective on a fraught historical moment. Formats can be scarce; most copies seem to exist on VHS, which adds to its vintage appeal. The film's political context makes it a talking point among collectors interested in the less-commercial side of cinema from the era.
