Huppert, a Frenchwoman who leaves her husband and travels to Australia to find herself, is in a car accident and gets a sliver of glass in one eye. As a result of a sympathetic reaction, she is gradually becoming blind in the other eye. Unless the injured eye is removed, Huppert will
completely lose her sight. Friends introduce her to a blind neighbor, Menzies, a thirtyish virgin who takes consolation in caring for his cacti--plants that are generally believed to thrive on neglect but actually need much care. The two inevitably fall in love, until the sudden arrival of
Huppert's husband, Mignon brings confusion. Beautifully photographed by Sokol, CACTUS is not abou...
