“Blindness,” a movie by Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles, has been announced as the opening film of this year’s Cannes Film Festival (taking place May 14-25), and it has also been entered into the festival’s competition section. The movie stars Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo, but also has a supporting cast that includes Yoshino Kimura and Yusuke Iseya. This makes it the first Cannes opening film with Japanese involvement since Akira Kurosawa’s “Dreams” (“Yume”) in 1990.
Kimura and Iseya have been rumored as a couple ever since they worked together on Takashi Miike’s “Sukiyaki Western Django,” but the two have still never commented on the rumors.
