FAR FROM HEAVEN (2002) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Todd Haynes

Written by - Todd Haynes

Starring - Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid, Dennis Haysbert

"Set in the American age of consensus of the fifties, a seemingly happy and normal household is rocked by a wife discovering her husband’s homosexuality. Provocative but never tasteless nor insincere, Far From Heaven even feels a little important in its use of theme and photography. It also represents an interesting revisiting of the soap opera film which was made famous by the likes of Douglas Sirk, from whom Todd Haynes draws inspiration."
