Product Description:
A seductive story of one seemingly perfect family & the forbidden desires that threaten to tear them apart. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/24/2004 Starring: Julianne Moore Dennis Haysbert Run time: 108 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Todd Haynes
Amazon.com:
This uniquely beautiful film--from one of the smartest and most idiosyncratic of contemporary directors, Todd Haynes (Safe, Velvet Goldmine)--takes the lush 1950s visual style of so-called women's pictures (particularly those of Douglas Sirk, director of Imitation of Life and Magnificent Obsession) to tell a story that mixes both sexual and racial prejudice. Julianne Moore, an amazing fusion of vulnerability and will power, plays a housewife whose husband (Dennis Quaid) has a secret gay life. When she finds solace in the company of a black gardener (Dennis Haysbert), rumors and peer pressure destroy any chance she has at happiness. It's astonishing how a movie with such a stylized veneer can be so emotionally compelling; the cast and filmmakers have such an impeccable command of the look and feel of the genre that every moment is simultaneously artificial and deeply felt. Far from Heaven is ingenious and completely engrossing. --Bret Fetzer

"Far From Heaven" is like a perfectly cut cubic zirconium. It looks like a diamond--but it's not. In the same way,"Far from Heaven" is a '50s "women's film" a la Douglas Sirk,but it's not.

Julianne Moore is luminous as a '50s housewife caught between the two men in her life--her beloved husband (Dennis Quaid) and her black gardener whom she befriends (Dennis Haysbert)
"Far from Heaven" is retro with an edge--Dennis Quaid embodies gay issues as the closeted husband. ... Read More

'Far from heaven' the film throws light on situations, secret affairs and taboos. The film takes you right to the mid 50's, the costums, the settings, the whole atmosphere is that of the late 1950's. Julianne Moore gives an outstanding performence, you can see her expressing so much through her eyes alone. Dennis Quaid was excellent too, you can see the plight in which the charecters are. Nevertheless, Dennis Haysbert delivers an excellent performence as well, the chemistry between Haysbert and Moore is ... Read More

Surely this is not intended to be taken seriously, for if it is it is one of the worst films ever made. It must be a camp romp. The plot, the dialogue, and even the voices are such extreme parodies that I expected Divine to rise from the grave for a cameo.

This movie realy captures the time period and the struggles of being gay and race relations in the 50's. Everyone should see this movie.
