Far From Heaven: 2002, 107min, streaming on Amazon & others for $4
In the 1950s, Douglas Sirk made melodramas–All That Heaven Allows, Magnificent Obsession, Imitation of Life–lavish, longing films with characters trapped by the social restraints of their time. In 2002, Toda Haynes’ (I’m Not There, Carol) made Far From Heaven, his version of the melodrama, crossing racial and sexual lines too controversial for the 1950s. Julianne Moore plays the perfect housewife with the perfect husband Dennis Quaid. Moore was nominated for best actress, and the film for screenplay, cinematography, and score. Ebert put it at #4 for the year.
