This
uniquely beautiful film--from one of the smartest and
most idiosyncratic of contemporary directors, Todd
Haynes (Safe, Velvet Goldmine)--takes the
lush 1950s visual style of so-called women's pictures
(particularly those of Douglas Sirk, director of Imitation
of Life and Magnificent Obsession) to tell a
story that mixes both sexual and racial prejudice.
Julianne Moore, an amazing fusion of vulnerability and
will power, plays a housewife whose husband (Dennis
Quaid) has a secret gay life. When she finds solace in
the company of a black gardener (Dennis Haysbert),
rumors and peer pressure destroy any chance she has at
happiness. It's astonishing how a movie with such a
stylized veneer can be so emotionally compelling; the
cast and filmmakers have such an impeccable command of
the look and feel of the genre that every moment is
simultaneously artificial and deeply felt. Far from
Heaven is ingenious and completely engrossing!!
