Poor Wee Me
WILLFUL BLINDNESS is a pastiche of vignette constructions pulled from the psychic shores of the subconscious. Time is irrelevant for director and artist James Higginson as he rakes the boundary where distant memory meets a familiar present, where the real meets the dream, and where the unconscious seems conscious. These interpretations are woven through the relationships of three people, a gunshot victim(James Higginson), a woman(Marie Larizza) and her daughter(Morgane Kelly). WILLFUL BLINDNESS is a mesmerizing story of a man as he crawls home after being shot, a story of a mother supporting her daughter and a story of a daughter who has been a passive recipient of the fruits of evil. On the films surface, the man reflects on what has brought him to this moment and to his relationships, on a deeper level, the film questions the materialistic, imperialistic and self-centered values of our time. A nonlinear, circuitous story that borders stream of consciousness, an expansive abstract journey that harvests the memories and fuses the projections of the subconscious, WILLFUL BLINDNESS is a film respectful of and referential to film history yet dwells on the edge of a dreamscape. This non-verbal experimental art film is a bold and stunning visual interpretation that pivots on the struggle of trying, a kaleidoscopic rollercoaster ride through the madness of the mores that consume our contemporary society. WILLFUL BLINDNESS questions our survival choices.
