Safe

April 12 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Short & Midlength / on 35mm! 
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.

(Todd Haynes, USA, English, 119min, 1995, 35mm)

Free for members (Includes UWM students) $5 admission for all others. You can inquire about a membership at the Union Cinema.
