Todd Haynes’ masterful paranoid thriller Safe is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a brand new 4K restoration via our friends at Sony Picture Classics!
The story follows Carol White (played brilliantly by Julianne Moore), a quiet, upper-middle-class homemaker in 1987 Los Angeles whose life is upended by a series of mysterious physical ailments: coughing fits, nosebleeds, panic attacks, and debilitating weakness. As doctors fail to diagnose her condition, Carol becomes convinced she suffers from “environmental illness,” a sensitivity to everyday chemicals in modern life.
Safe is bold, it’s darkly funny, and above everything else, it’s a totally original drama that only Todd Haynes could make.
