(dir. Todd Haynes, 1995)

Carol White, a Los Angeles housewife in the late 1980s, comes down with a debilitating illness with no clear diagnosis. A profoundly unsettling work from 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.
