Far from Heaven
“What imprisons desires of the heart?”
DramaRomance
In 1950s Connecticut, a housewife's life is upended by a marital crisis and mounting racial tensions in society.
VIBE
A visually stunning, emotionally resonant melodrama. It feels like a Technicolor dream tinged with the melancholy of unspoken desires and societal constraints. A poignant exploration of love and loss in a seemingly perfect 1950s world.
