If you loved Velvet Goldmine, try Loin du paradis
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Todd Haynes, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Velvet Goldmine, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Loin du paradis 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.
