plax, you know i love you, but FFH is both blunt and pointed.

I don't much care for glam but enjoyed Velvet Goldmine as a scandal sheet/research paper.

yeah, its a good film, its nowhere near as good as safe. also, safe is the only one that seems to have an entirely original look, so many of his other films aspire to a pastiche of post-war technicolor, but safe finds a pictorial equivalent that is blandly "contemporary" instead of revelling in period which is comparatively dull imo

I'd accept Safe as his greatest film, if only to sidestep any more conversation about Far From Heaven and Carol (the latter of which I still liked).
