Winner of the 1991 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, Todd Haynes' controversial masterpiece is the most fervently debated film of the 1990s and a trailblazing landmark 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 deftly interweaves a trio of transgressive tales that build toward a devastating cIimax: "Hero", shot in mock tabloid-TV style, telIs a bizarre story of suburban patricide and a miraculous flight from justice; ""Horror," filmed Iike a delirious 1950s B-movie meIodrama, 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 incIuding Dick Armey, RaIph Reed and minister DonaId Wildmon, Poison is audacious, unforgettable and wildIy entertaining. |
