Danny, a handsome 17-year-old prep school student and swimmer head over heels in love with an older man, Darcy. When Darcy mysteriously vanishes before a planned trip, Danny searches for him with the help of two strangers who are also connected to his lover. An unexpected bond develops between these three as they trace Darcy's steps and uncover the dangerous secrets he has kept. Written by Bobolink
"Blind Spot" one of my festival favorites. I was totally intrigued by the idea of three strangers searching for a mysterious man who has loved and betrayed each of them in different ways. The cast is great. James Franco is particularly amazing as the broken-hearted boy from Los Angeles. His journal entries, which we hear in voice-over-narration, work well with the visuals and are quite intense. The film has a powerful style. It pushes elements like the road movie and revenge-drama in new directions. It also plays with time and perspective in ways that capture the frightening ambiance of lost love. There is a dreamlike quality to several sequences and the images are saturated with an eerie sense of tension. Strange. Suspenseful. Beautiful to look at. Definitely worth seeing. I really would like to see it again. Periodically I check to see if Blind Spot has been distributed. I can't wait to see the film again in the cinema or on DVD.
