- Todd Haynes joined us during a retrospective of his films to discuss his 1995 masterpiece 'Safe' starring Julianne Moore.
Haynes shot his second feature in 1994, but he set it at the height of the AIDS epidemic seven years earlier. The unnamed disease at the center of this indelible, shuddering movie-widely considered one of Haynes’s masterpieces-has taken on new, unexpected meanings since the film’s release, and yet much of what makes Safe revelatory to watch is the uncanny precision of its setting, look, and tone. Carol (Julianne Moore), whose mysterious breakdown from perfect housewife to cloistered invalid drives the movie’s plot, couldn’t live anywhere but suburban L.A. in the late ’80s-a landscape Haynes captures in a strange, piercing, hyperreal light. Jonathan Rosenbaum called Safe “the most provocative American art film of the year” in 1995. It’s hard to imagine any movie topping it were it released now.

I can't even remember how I stumbled across this film but it's stayed with me ever since. I proudly own it and watch it at least twice a year. It's impact never wanes.

@@henryjackson2357 Safe, Poison, Superstar, and Far From Heaven. Velvet Goldmine is super fun too.
What people don't understand about the film is that it is very real and not dramatised. A Hollywood hit that appeals to the masses this is not, it is for those in search of a connection to truth. Is any part of life back or white, then why demand it from a film.
First time anyone has tackled Idiopathic Environmental Intolerances (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities) in a film. I was chemically poisoned with chemical inhalants in 2000 in a newly renovated workplace. No Workers Compensation. I have been disabled since them. Forced to leave my gregarious life and become a hermit. Occupational
and environmental medicine are relatively new fields with very few specialists. Due to our toxic world more and more people are becoming ill.
QUOTE from Linda Sepp:
"It seems like almost every week there is new scientific evidence that shows how products and materials (that have been harming people with MCS/ES for years) contain harmful chemicals that also cause slower, long term health damage to “normal” people. The mountains of evidence are piling up yet are still mostly being ignored by medical associations, governments, and major media, who continue to relentlessly advertise these unsafe products in spite of so much evidence of harm.
It is my sincere hope that somehow, a way is found to ban the use of toxic chemicals in everyday products and materials, and that wireless technologies become regulated in health protective ways, before it’s too late for life as we know it on this planet. We are all facing threats to our well-being from so many directions, that we must act, we must take precautions, we must not give up in despair.
In the meantime, the lack of medically required, SAFE housing for people with MCS/ES and EHS is a serious issue in and of itself, as this is the most important determinant of health and the most difficult component to achieve for many people with MCS/ES/EHS without assistance and support from the wider community."

I m looking forward to Carol...
I was disappointed in it.
For some reason, he reminds me of Mark Hamil.

The film was painfully slow but I think that’s the beauty of the film. Even I thought the end was happy. And then I was like wait a minute, she’s miserable than she has ever been.
