ABOUT THE FILM -- LAND OF THE BLIND is a satiric political drama about terrorism, revolution, and the power of memory. In an unnamed place and time, an idealistic soldier named Joe (Ralph Fiennes) strikes up an illicit friendship with a political prisoner named Thorne (Donald Sutherland). Through their conversations in the high-security military prison where Thorne is held, Joe slowly begins to question his allegiance to the country's brutal but clowinsh dictator (Tom Hollander) and his Machiavellian wife (Lara Flynn Boyle). Eventually Thorne succeeds in recruiting Joe to the revolutionary cause, culminating in a bloody coup d'etat. But in the post-revolutionary world, what Thorne asks of Joe leads the two men into bitter conflict, spiraling downward into madness until Joe's co-conspirators conclude that they must erase him from history. WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE DIRECTOR -- ROBERT EDWARDS is an American writer and film director based in New York City. Prior to becoming a filmmaker, Edwards served as an infantry and intelligence officer in the US Army, and was a captain in a parachute infantry regiment in Iraq during the first Gulf war. After leaving the service, he worked as a private detective, a telemarketer, and a nightclub doorman before attending Stanford Universitys graduate program in documentary film in 1994 and beginning a career as a documentary filmmaker. His 2001 short, The Voice of the Prophet (an interview with Rick Rescorla, a veteran of three wars and head of security for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter who was killed on September 11th) was shown at Sundance, Toronto, Human Rights Watch, and numerous other festivals and on television around the world. In 2003 Edwards produced and edited Sumo East and West, a feature documentary filmed and directed by his wife and partner Ferne Pearlstein, about Westerners in that ancient Japanese sport, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and aired nationally in the US on PBS. Land of the Blind is his first fiction film; his script for it won a Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2001. His script Trust, about FBI counterintelligence agents in the Cold War, is scheduled to shoot this summer, directed by Neil LaBute. He is currently adapting The Bomb in My Garden, the memoir of one of the chief scientists in Saddam Husseins nuclear weapons program, for Warner Brothers and Johnny Depp's company, Infinitum Nihil. |
