Description

Julianne Moore gives a breakthrough performance as Carol White, a Los Angeles housewife in the late 1980s who comes down with a debilitating illness. After the doctors she sees can give her no clear diagnosis, she comes to believe that she has frighteningly extreme environmental allergies. A profoundly unsettling work from the great American director Todd Haynes, Safe functions on multiple levels: as a prescient commentary on self-help culture, as a metaphor for the AIDS crisis, as a drama about class and social estrangement, and as a horror film about what you cannot see. This revelatory drama was named the best film of the 1990s in a Village Voice poll of more than fifty critics.

    • SILENT WARNING ABOUT ENVIORNEMTAL POLLUTION, BUT ALSO ABOUT A WOMAN'S STORY
It is very brave of him to make such a movie as his second feature. This is very heavy stuff to make into a film and he didn't make it like a documentary or tried to inform us like an educational program doing the best that he can. It is about this woman Julianne Moore who suddenly became ill and couldn't find out why. She begin to think that it was because of the enviornment. All the toxic thing around her, the chamicals, the air pollutions and all. It's just that all the other people just didn't felt it right away. Everyone acually suffered as well. She is just one of the guy who happens to react more. That's all. She first did everything she could but failed. Then she found out this deserted place that similer people gathered and try to cure themselves by not exposing them to any kind of possible toxic things at all. She slowly becomes better. The good thing is although her husbad from time to time blamed her for being sick but he did understood her and supported her. She will eventually become better I guess. But the next step will be the problem. Going back to the city again. We are so fool that we created all kinds of toxic things ourselves and live in it. We don't even know that they are harming us to death. We just get used to them so well that we even enjoy them. We smoke weeds, cigarettes, even plastic glues for fun. But slowly they are destroying our inner body. One day they will collapse our entire being. This movie is a silent warning and it is a powerful one. But it also has a story, a good one and I enjoyed Julianne Moore's good acting very much. ... show more

    • fantastic transfer to bluray
This is mostly a technical review. I have loved this film since discovering Haynes in the early 2000s. Though I never really thought of the quality of the DVD release as "holding it back", I never had a chance to see it in theaters, either. I wasn't hopeful there would be an HD release with a niche film like this. That was until Criterion came to the rescue! The image quality is, in my opinion, everything that can be hoped for. Every parameter of quality improved - the resolution of course, but also the S/N ratio, colors, and grading. Improved to the point of being absolutely breathtaking. It's like seeing it again for the first time. Those wacky, gaudily-colored late 80s interiors sometimes made the DVD release feel somewhat incohesive, but in this transfer the colorist(s) manages to both heighten the realism and add a certain sparkle not felt in the DVD. I'm really impressed. As for the audio...again, the S/N ratio and resolution has gone way up. But I have to say I almost subtracted a star because it's a shame Criterion didn't spring for a stereo remix. Tomney's haunting score, which I own on CD, was definitely in stereo and it would have added to the atmosphere to have that. In fact I played the opening drive sequence on my plasma TV with my audio system running the stereo OST Track 1 and thought...wow...if only. It would have been nice. The score has a lot of subtleties that you just can't pick up on a mono mix. But I'm not going to subtract a star for that, because I feel so lucky we got an excellent blu-ray release as we did. ... show more

    • Modern Retelling of Yellow Wallpaper
The miracle of this film is that somehow Todd Haynes makes it compelling to watch Julianne Moore play Carol White, an inspid waif completely lost and languishing in the asylum of her huge house in San Fernando Valley. She's not even a sympathetic character as we watch her, confronting her boredom by shopping and going on fruit diets, disintegrate from a drab, soulless, wife to a sexless hypochondriac who regresses to the infant state, abandoning her family and moving to a "sanctuary" where she will find a "toxic-free, safe environment." The film succeeds as a satire against happy therapy speak, bovine middle-class self-help cliches, unctuous, self-help charlatans, panacea-promising infomercials, and the kind of needy people who lack the moral fortitude to confront their own weaknesses so instead rely on conspiracy theories and other kinds of scapegoats to explain their repellent personalities, blaming chemicals, for example, for their own ineptness. Carol White and her fellow acoyltes at the "sanctuary" are all brain-numbed on the humorless cult of New Age therapy, giving credence to a motivation speaker who lives in a grand mansion overlooking the shack house squalor of his followers. Ironically, Carol White is even more of a prisoner in her new "safe house" as she was in her husband's home. If you want to bite on an pungent appetizer before watching this brilliant two-hour film, first read Charlotte Perkins Gilman's famous short story "The Yellow Wallpaper." It will really get you in the mood for the kind of insanity rendered in "Safe." ... show more

    • Lame story, brilliant director and star
Beautifully written, directed and acted movie about a rich Los Angeles housewife going insane and blaming it on environmental toxins (sort of like the nuts nowadays who think their Teflon pans and plastic wrap are trying to kill them). Having found no doctor who can help her, Carol takes refuge in a creepy new-age cult in the desert - but instead of getting better she gets much worse. The story itself is pretty lame, but the extremely subtle and intelligent dialog, the absolutely perfect direction, editing and photography, and Julianne Moore's tight, brutal performance make it fascinating. I can understand why it won some obscure award as the best movie made during the 1990s, but it doesn't seem dated at all. I could easily believe it was released last year, and the fact that Moore has hardly aged at all in 20 years would back me up. ... show more

    • Authentic portrayal of environmental illness
Thank you to the storytellers of a modern American reality. This is an educational movie. Referred to as "sick building syndrome" or "acute environmental Illness/sensitivity/allergy", it is a real affliction for many whose immune systems are already compromised by the ambient toxic chemicals in our environment. And, YES, further weakened by an atmosphere of soulless consumerism and isolation from meaning. Julianne Moore is her usual stunningly effective character artist. The pace and tone are perfect for her nervy confidence to go out on a limb in her work. This was bound to be box office mistake.So unconsoling. It turns one to the truth of ones own ordeal in society. There is just the mystery of a lone person , misunderstood, struggling against great odds that are counter to her well being.She is unconsciously in complicity with those forces and learning to reconnect with her authenticity. I was stunned at how much this movie made me care. ... show more

    • Attack of the cleaning things...
Another one of those films that i couldnt get on netflix that i just had to see. Julianne Moore is a suburban housewife who endures giving her weasely husband pity sex, having a bratty-know it all son, while existing in a dull,hollow, but safe environment until her body starts to become allergic to her surroundings. I can only imagine one of the reasons this film hasnt been released on dvd is due soundtrack cost...it features some pretty popular songs and could get expensive real quick. ... show more

    • Damn Good Movie
I have loved this movie since it first came out, and I was so pleased to find it on Amazon at a reasonable price. I believe Ms Moore would have won an Oscar, if anyone had actually seen it. The topic, fear of our environment, is even more relevant today. Twenty years ago (when "Safe" was released) the big fear was AIDS. Now it is GMO crops and gluten. I guess there is always something to fear, real or not. ... show more
