Velvet Goldmine followup at Rasputin's ($4!), Far From Heaven. This is a note-perfect, piercing beauty of a melodrama, that I knew was going to change my life the minute I saw the opening titles, a bittersweet valentine to Sirk, I loved every minute of it. Julianne Moore is great, of course, but it was Patricia Clarkson's performance to me that really stood out, her scene w/ Ms Moore, the "day or night" one on Ms Moore's porch is one of the best scenes about friendship I've ever seen.
The film is luscious to look at, as well, & the score perfect. Highly recommended.
