THE BLIND MAN WHO DID NOT WANT TO SEE TITANIC- 2023. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Internationally acclaimed at Venice, Berlin, SXSW and beyond, writer-director Teemu Nikki’s darkly humorous Finnish romance becomes a cinematically unusual action-thriller, empathetically shot from the shallow-focus perspective of a character (and real-life actor) who is blind and unable to walk. The brightest moments in movie lover Jaakko’s day are shared on the phone with Sirpa, the woman he loves even though they’ve never met in person. When Sirpa gets difficult news, Jaako decides he must go to her immediately.”
2/4/23- Excellent reviews. TRDB.
