Emerging from the creative rebellion of the New Queer Cinema movement, Todd Haynes has remained one of American independent cinema’s most daring and subversive voices, a master stylist who uses his command of the language of classic melodrama to reveal the hidden fears, anxieties, and hypocrisies lurking beneath the surface of American society. Establishing his fiercely transgressive sensibility with his visually intoxicating, Jean Genet–inspired provocation POISON, he reached ever greater heights of critical acclaim with the disturbing psychological drama SAFE and the lush, Sirkian melodrama FAR FROM HEAVEN, both featuring riveting performances from Julianne Moore as suburban housewives whose picture-perfect worlds crumble around them.
