Three acclaimed screenplays from one of today's most provocative filmmakers, including the Oscar nominated screenplay Far from Heaven.
An award-winning auteur and a pioneer of the New Queer Cinema movement, Todd Haynes has achieved both critical acclaim and box office success with his original, intelligent, and often controversial films. Collected here are three of his most celebrated screenplays.
Far from Heaven: Winning fifty critics' prizes and appearing on two hundred Top Ten lists, Far from Heaven was also nominated for four Academy Awards. Inspired by the films of Douglas Sirk, it tells the story of a 1950s housewife who is alienated by her neighbors when she pursues an affair with her African American gardener after learning of her husband's homosexuality.
Safe: Haynes's breakthrough feature was voted Best Film of the 1990s by the Village Voice Film Critics Poll. It tells the disturbing story of an affluent suburban housewife whose life is shattered by a mysterious illness. One character suggests that perhaps she is "allergic to the twentieth century."
Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story: Told with a cast of Barbie dolls, this short film about Karen Carpenter's battle with anorexia was named one of Entertainment Weekly's Top 50 Cult Movies in 2003. Though the film was ordered destroyed after a lawsuit by the Carpenter estate, it remains an underground classic and "the most talked-about, least-seen film of the '80s" (The A.V. Club).

Pressezitat
“Far from Heaven is like the best and bravest movie of 1957. Its themes, values and style faithfully reflect the social melodramas of the 1950s, but it’s bolder, and says out loud what those films only hinted at.” —RogerEbert.com“More clever and literate than anything else around.” —Janet Maslin, Premiere
“Writer-director Todd Haynes makes you drunk on movies again. Talk about movie heaven–this is it. No film this year cuts a straighter path to the heart.” —Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“Writer-director Todd Haynes’s Far From Heaven is the year’s most daring and fully realized movie. It’s the best picture of the year. A movie lover’s dream.” —New York Post
“The most original film of the year.” —Daily News (New York)
“Flawless. Haynes’s control over the material is scarily complete. It’s like watching an Olympic gymnast nail a perfect routine. 10s all around.” —The Boston Globe
“Todd Haynes’ Far From Heaven is the year’s best American film.” —The Examiner (San Francisco)
