"far from heaven"

Very fine film. I was thoroughly impressed with all of the actors, and I loved the slightly tongue-in-cheek fifties film-style nods(the titles, the constant fade outs w. music). Now I want to go see Todd Hayes' other films, esp. "Superstar"...

If you like Far From Heaven, I highly recommend seeing some Douglas Sirk films (which this film was very highly influenced by).

Notably,

All that Heaven Allows
Imitation of Life
Written on the Wind
There's Always Tomorrow
