Review of Safe (1993) by Kevin B — 16 Mar 2008
1â??voted best film of the 1990s by 2000 Village Voice Film Criticâ??s poll.
2â??shot by Alex Nepomniaschy in wide-angle that reduces all human activity to miniaturized doll movements.
3â??plays on the â??comfort and resolveâ?? (Haynesâ?? words) of the TV-movie-of-the-Week, quietly subverting the rhetoric of Peter Dunning, â??a chemically sensitive person with AIDSâ??; response to New Age philosophy of Louis May, self-help author of You Can Heal Your Life.
4â??What is (American Independent) Cinema? emotionally devastating portrait of insulated domesticity.
