Far from Heaven
2002 · TMDB 7.1
Directed by Todd Haynes
In 1950s Connecticut, a housewife's life is upended by a marital crisis and mounting racial tensions in society.
Why it matters
Todd Haynes restages Sirk's world in 1957 Connecticut, with Julianne Moore's Cathy discovering her husband's sexuality and her own attraction to a Black gardener. Elmer Bernstein's score and Edward Lachman's autumnal palette do half the storytelling.
