Safe
dir. Todd Haynes
USA, 1995, 119 minutes
Film in the English language version
California housewife Carol White seems to have it all in life: a wealthy husband and a beautiful house. Starting with headaches and leading to a grand-mal seizure, Carol becomes more and more sick, claiming that she’s become sensitive to the common toxins in today’s world: exhaust, fumes, aerosol spray, etc. She pulls back from the sexual advances of her husband and spends her nights alone by the TV or wandering around the outside of her well-protected home like an animal in a cage. Her physician examines her and can find nothing wrong...
“The self-allergic disease of the heroine is a metaphor of our environment, which may also be perceived as a metaphor of AIDS. The film features brilliant Julianne Moore in her debut role.” (Wolfgang Tillmans)
