Industrial lights reflect intermittently off the windshield of a speeding automobile as “Blindness,” the new film by acclaimed Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles, opens with stunning visuals. Meirelles, whose past credits include the equally arresting “City of God,” ingeniously captures the sensation of being infected by the white blindness that mysteriously afflicts the film’s urban population.
