Review of All That Heaven Allows (1955) by Paul J — 18 Jul 2009
The film that inspired Todd Haynes to make Far from Heaven. This is Sirk's quintessential work. It's both a melodramatic soap opera and a highly intelligent drama loaded with subtext. It's heart-wrenching and dramatically suspenseful.
Simply put: a masterpiece ahead of its time.
