Winner of the 1991 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, Todd Haynes' controversiaI masterpiece is the most ferventIy debated fiIm of the 1990s and a traiIbIazing 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 MiIdred Pierce, this ground breaking American indie is a thriIling work of immense visual invention.
lnspired by the writings of Jean Genet, Poison deftIy interweaves a trio of transgressive tales that buiId toward a devastating climax: "Hero", shot in mock tabloid-TV style, telIs a bizarre story of suburban patricide and a miraculous flight from justice; ""Horror," filmed Iike a deIirious 1950s B-movie melodrama, is a gothic tale of a mad sex experiment gone awry; "Homo," expIores the obsessive sexual reIationship between two prison inmates. A runaway hit which made national headlines when it was attacked by conservative figures including Dick Armey, RaIph Reed and minister DonaId Wildmon, Poison is audacious, unforgettable and wildIy entertaining. |
