So says the troubled Frank Whitaker in Todd Haynes' Far from Heaven, the spot-on homage to Douglas Sirk films and the perfect penultimate screening in our melodramatic Drama Queens series. Did you attend? What did you think?
We'll take it one step further by visiting Haynes' rarely seen but highly regarded 1995 film, Safe. Winner of the Seattle International Film Festival's American Independent Award and nominated for numerous Independent Spirit Awards, this is a unique opportunity to view a film presently unavailable on DVD.
On top of that, we will be joined by guest speaker and film critic John Anderson. His reviews regularly appear in Newsday, Variety and the New York Times, and he should provide fantastic insight on our final Drama Queens film.
Please join us on Oct. 8 at the Palm Canyon Theater!
