Todd Haynes flips the mid-century nuclear family on its head in this stunning and stirring domestic masterpiece. Drawing heavily on Douglas Sirk’s Technicolor melodramas, but with a uniquely modern and queer sensibility, Haynes brings the unspoken taboos of the 1950s out in the open – including homosexuality and interracial romance. Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid, and Dennis Haysbert star in this seductive story of a seemingly perfect family, and the forbidden desires that threaten to tear it apart. Cathy Whitaker (Moore) has it all—a lovely home, two wonderful children and a handsome husband (Quaid) who is successfully climbing the corporate ladder. But Cathy’s idyllic existence is just an illusion, and she eventually must choose between living a lie or following her heart. Far from Heaven garnered rave reviews and was nominated for four Academy Awards® including Actress (Moore), Original Screenplay (Haynes), Original Score (Elmer Bernstein) and Cinematography (Edward Lachman).
