    The use of color is hard not to connect with the future Giallo aesthetics and Fassbender, which must have far-reaching influence. The film does not hide the antagonism between classes at all (although the roles are almost the same, the two groups of supporting characters from different classes are treated differently: the male protagonist's friends are flesh-and-blood from the background to the character, and the character movement and editing of the dance sequence are lighthearted and cheerful...

    The best of Douglas Seck. Family and marriage are always a microcosm of a society and a reflection of an era. A rich widow wants to marry the gardener's son. She doesn't know how many ups and downs she has to face. Aside from the gossip of neighbors and friends, the most terrifying thing is the contempt of children. Who can pretend that there are no classes in this world? Who can pretend to believe that love really conquers all things? This was decades ago, not a hundred years apart. The safest...

    The heroine broke up with the hero because of the opposition of the people around her. She has not yet come out of her frustration, but the children have started a new life, because they no longer regard her as the center of their life and do not restrict her life... There is something in life A lot of forbearance and sacrifice made little sense in hindsight. The ending of this film is still idealized. For comparison, look at "Fear Devouring the Soul". Sometimes I insist on myself, and maybe...

    9.0/10. ①A sincere and sincere but difficult (worldly pressure: class, age, rumors, etc.) love story between a middle-class middle-aged widow and a young gardener man, and the lovers finally get married. ②Bright, romantic and saturated colors (not for the purpose of lining the sadness with the happy scene, but to render the strong emotions); various extremely incisive light and shadow and composition; praised the soundtrack. ③ The performance is not appealing...

    CC's plate has a booklet with Laura Mulvey's paper thoughtfully printed! My favorite is Sirk's use of colors. From the autumn of meeting to the winter of falling in love, the color of every indoor scene has contributed to the plot. I can't help but sigh that no one will use color to narrate like this now; the second one is impressive. The point is the transgression in the plot setting. After all, there is no difference between love across classes and love across skin color/gender. Guess Who's...

    [Film Review] All That Heaven Allows (1955) 8.4/10

    An auteur maudit of his time, German émigré Douglas Sirk's renown has been considerably reappraised with much admiration for his trademark disposition of light and color, the swelling watchability sublimated from its saccharine source material, aka. the often derogated melodrama, and affecting...

    All That Heaven Allows: An Articulate Screen by Laura Mulvey

    Douglas Sirk once said: "This is the dialectic—there is a very short distance between high art and trash, and trash that contains an element of craziness is by this very quality nearer to art." When All That Heaven Allows was released by Universal Pictures in 1955, it was just another critically...

All That Heaven Allows quotes

  • Dr. Hennessy: There's nothing organically wrong with you, Cary.

    Cary Scott: Well, then, why do have these headaches?

  • Dr. Hennessy: Forget for a moment that I'm your doctor and let me give you some advice as a friend. Marry him.

    Cary Scott: Well, there's no point in discussing that. It's all over.

    Dr. Hennessy: Apparently it isn't. You still have the headaches.
