CINEMA IN CONVERSATION:
FILMS OF FREEDOM, CAPTIVITY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Sponsored by Colby Center for the Arts and Humanities and Oak Institute for Human Rights
Post-film discussion with Steve Wurtzler, Colby Cinema Studies.
“Todd Haynes’ Safe is a horror movie about the ultimate nightmare: becoming allergic to your own life. Set in an affluent suburb in Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, Safe charts the bewildering deterioration of housewife Carol White (Julianne Moore), who contracts a disease her doctor can’t diagnose and her sympathetic husband (Xander Berkeley) can’t understand.” –Michael Wilmington, Tribune.
