Directed by Todd Haynes

Carol White, a Los Angeles housewife in the late 1980s, comes down with a debilitating illness with no clear diagnosis.

Why it matters

Julianne Moore plays a San Fernando Valley housewife whose immune system begins to reject her immaculate life. Todd Haynes shoots it like a furniture catalogue, all beige and bottled water, until the politeness itself becomes the disease.
