Far from Heaven is a 2002 historical romantic drama film written and directed by Todd Haynes and starring Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid, Dennis Haysbert and Patricia Clarkson. Moore plays a 1950s housewife living in wealthy suburban Connecticut as she sees her seemingly perfect life begin to fall apart. Haynes intended the film as an homage to the melodramas of Douglas Sirk (especially 1955's All That Heaven Allows, 1956's Written on the Wind, and 1959's Imitation of Life), which explored issues of social entrapment and taboo relationships. Haynes extended those subjects to include interracial love, gender roles, sexual orientation, and class in the context of 1950s America.
