If you loved Safe, try Dem Himmel so fern
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Todd Haynes, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Safe, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Dem Himmel so fern is
A powder-blue 1957 Oldsmobile idles in a Connecticut driveway while the nachos are burning. Cathy Whitaker’s perfect life springs a leak when her husband’s affair goes postal and her gardener’s son gets set on fire by the PTA. Haynes re-stages Douglas Sirk in brighter hues to show that Eisenhower’s dream home was just a ranch with more plumbing problems.
