Not far from heaven.

A slice of nostalgic history long gone is lovingly created in Todd Haynes critique of 1950s American society.
A perfect recreation of the melodramas of that decade touches on subjects that would have been definitely taboo in an era of repression and narrow mindedness.
Totally relevant to society today, Far From Heaven is a stunning achievement, superbly realized with handsome design and impeccable performances form all concerned.
