Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This investigation of sight and 'vision' focuses on the views of a dozen or so, mainly Brazilian, visually impaired artists and commentators, but widens its scope to include characteristically telling contributions from neurologist Oliver Sacks and film-makers Agnès Varda and Wim Wenders. The ideas and personal stories run wide rather than deep, but nevertheless give fascinating testimony to the subjective dimensions of 'seeing'.Author: WH
