Todd Haynes has emerged from the trenches of independent
American film in the 1990s to become one of the twenty-first
century's most audacious filmmakers. In a series of smart,
informative essays, this book traces his career from its roots in
New Queer Cinema to the Oscar-nominated "Far from Heaven" (2002).
Along the way, it covers such landmark films as "Poison" (1991),
"Safe" (1995), and "Velvet Goldmine" (1998). Contributors look at
these films from a variety of angles, including his debts to the
avant-garde and such noted precursors as Rainer Werner Fassbinder;
his adventurous uses of melodrama; and his incisive portrayals of
contemporary life.
