Review of Far from Heaven (2002) by Donna . — 31 Dec 2008
CONTAINS SPOILERS!
I love this film which plays like a 50s melodrama, which adds to the shock of the revelation that the husband is gay, and it also makes the doomed, extramarital and interracial romance even more compelling. It's very similar to American Beauty as it shows the mystery of appearances and how all is not always as it seems...
The film is also about the breaking free from oppression and prejudiced expectations.
A masterpiece.
