Far From Heaven (updated)


Blackboard is NOW ACCESSIBLE! So you can now view the Powerpoint lecture on color and cinema.

This link should help you download the chapter on color from Bordwell and Thompson's Film Art. There are several mentions of Far From Heaven. Look over the chapter; you may find it very helpful in understanding Haynes' color structure for this film.

This interesting article by Rebecca Scherr discusses the film (as well as Transamerica) in terms of its representations of race and homosexuality. Read it and share your thoughts.

Also: Have a look at this well written and thoughtful review from Sight and Sound. And here is a great blog post featuring a series of wonderful images from the film.
