45: Far From Heaven with Marie Bardi-Salinas

Emily and Phil continue their deep dive into The Todds—Haynes, Phillips, Solondz, and Field—with Todd Haynes’ lush and heartbreaking 2002 masterpiece Far From Heaven. Joining them is writer and culture critic Marie Bardi-Salinas (@mariebardi), bringing her sharp insight and deep love for this era of filmmaking.

Together, they explore how Haynes channels Douglas Sirk to tell a daring, subversive story about race, sexuality, and suburban repression in 1950s America. From Julianne Moore’s tour-de-force performance to the evocative Elmer Bernstein score and Edward Lachman’s exquisite cinematography, this conversation celebrates the film’s style and its urgent relevance.

Don’t miss this conversation about one of the most visually rich and emotionally complex films of the decade.
