Review of Far from Heaven (2002) by Cheri S — 04 Oct 2007
Simply mesmerising. I really enjoy the subtlety of this movie. The message itself is very explicit, though. The story is about races, classes and sexuality. They are all woven together by the three actors.
Julianne Moore is awesome in this movie. The subtlety of her expression, in particularly scenes opposite to Raymond (Haysbert), truly reflects the constraints of women in 1950s. And, what is more impressive is that the refrain of the music is played by the woodwind (dunno if its flute or clarinet) instead by the expressive cello.
It is more than anything I expect from a movie. A beautifully crafted story, script and music.
