Blind Loves / Slepe Lasky

Last year we screened Black Sun, Gary Tarn’s film about a man’s coming to terms with the fact of being blinded. Blind Loves is an equally astonishing and revealing film which emphasises instead the search for companionship amongst those by whom that fact has long been accepted. Director Lehotsky delivers a visually striking combination of non-authored, observational documentary – we witness the quotidian demands of sightless lives – and wildly-realised fantasy – music teacher Peter’s visions of an undersea kingdom are vividly recreated in bold animated sequences. The effect is to plunge us into the experiences and longings of his subjects, engendering a heightened degree of emotional involvement. A beautiful film which makes for truly compelling viewing. CB
