Movie Description
LAND OF THE BLIND: There's no shortage of trenchant political satire in this film, which stars Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland, and was written and directed by Robert Edwards. The story is set in an alternate-reality amalgam of Great Britain and the U.S., where film and TV celebrities run the government and Max (Tom Hollander), the leader of the "free" world, is a sado-masochistic freak who spends the nation's money on gaudy action movies. Outside the palace walls, the nation is being overrun by violent rebels while their idealistic leader, Thorne (Sutherland), resides in jail, quoting William Butler Yeats and being regularly tortured. Fiennes plays Joe, a sympathetic prison guard who gradually adopts Thorne's views and joins a plot to assassinate Max. But when the revolution succeeds, Joe finds a whole new nightmare awaiting him.
CITIZEN VERDICT: Set in Florida, where a wave of terror and crime is leaving local authorities helpless, a reality television show called "Citizen Verdict" offers a solution: let criminals be tried on TV with home viewers serving as a phone-in jury.
