CGiii Comment
Life is perfection...where clothing matches the autumnal trees...sweet suburbia.
A world of chocolate box art....and, then...the shit hits the fan and makes a really big mess of the idyllic life.
A beautifully shot and crafted film - told from a different perspective than usual.
Haynes at his best.
Moore at her best.

The(ir) Blurb...
Cathy is the perfect 50s housewife, living the perfect 50s life: healthy kids, successful husband, social prominence. Then one night she surprises her husband Frank kissing another man, and her tidy world starts spinning out of control. In her confusion and grief, she finds consolation in the friendship of their African-American gardener, Raymond - a socially taboo relationship that leads to the further disintegration of life as she knew it. Despite Cathy and Frank's struggle to keep their marriage afloat, the reality of his homosexuality and her feelings for Raymond open a painful, if more honest, chapter in their lives.
