Far From Heaven

Dir. Todd Haynes (2002).
Todd Haynes revisits the high ‘50s through the mirrored scenarios of Douglas Sirk to create a triangle of frustrated longing whose apex is suburban hausfrau Julianne Moore. Without resorting to camp or parody, Haynes transforms the rhetoric of Hollywood melodrama into something provocative, rich, and strange.
