FILM 2149: FAR FROM HEAVEN (2002)
FILM 2149: FAR FROM HEAVEN (2002)
TRIVIA: Cinematographer Edward Lachman created the 1950s "look" by using the same type of lighting equipment (incandescent), the same lighting techniques, and the same type of lens filters when shooting this film, as would have been used on a 1950s era melodrama.
Todd Haynes wrote the role of Cathy Whitaker specifically for Julianne Moore.
Julianne Moore was pregnant during the filming of this movie.
The role of Frank Whitaker was written for James Gandolfini, but he was busy with The Sopranos (1999).
This film is heavily influenced by the work of Douglas Sirk.
