Winner of the 1991 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, Todd Haynes' controversiaI masterpiece is the most ferventIy debated fiIm of the 1990s and a trailbIazing Iandmark of Queer Cinema. The first feature directed by the Oscar nominated fiImmaker of Far From Heaven, l'm Not There and the HBO Mini-series Mildred Pierce, this ground breaking American indie is a thrilling work of immense visuaI invention.
Inspired by the writings of Jean Genet, Poison deftIy interweaves a trio of transgressive tales that build toward a devastating climax: "Hero", shot in mock tabIoid-TV styIe, teIls a bizarre story of suburban patricide and a miracuIous fIight from justice; ""Horror," fiImed like a deIirious 1950s B-movie melodrama, is a gothic taIe of a mad sex experiment gone awry; "Homo," explores the obsessive sexual relationship between two prison inmates. A runaway hit which made nationaI headIines when it was attacked by conservative figures including Dick Armey, RaIph Reed and minister DonaId WiIdmon, Poison is audacious, unforgettabIe and wiIdly entertaining. |
