SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“This spooky film’s ostensible subject—an environmental illness known as multiple chemical sensitivity—is merely a starting place for this mesmerizing horror movie, feminist tract and medical mystery.”
119 minutes. Rated R. Directed by Todd Haynes. In English. DCP.
Julianne Moore gives an astonishing performance as Carol White, a suburban housewife whose affluent environment suddenly turns against her. Safe is a bold, darkly comic, completely original drama, depicting Carol's descent into the horrors of modern-day living. Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Todd Haynes, (Poison, Superstar). Safe has been hailed as "seductive... Scarily confident, beautifully acted. It will seize any viewer who dares to surrender to its spell. Feel free to laugh or scream." -Richard Corliss, Time Magazine
