The Power of Darkness

Now impoverished and living in a Buenos Aires apartment, Fernando Vidal (Sergio Renán) is buttonholed by a stranger insisting that he's a childhood friend. The odd encounter sets off a string of occurrences leaving Fernando convinced that the world is under siege by a secret society of blind men-and he embarks on a nightmarish quest to prove it. Writer-director Mario Sábato's disquieting take on his father Ernesto's novel also stars Osvaldo Terranova, Aldo Barbero. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Spanish; Subtitles: English; featurette. In Spanish with English subtitles.
