 | | We thought fluffing was a great way of showing [a characters] very limited access to someone he is in love with. |
 | | FILMMAKER: There are scenes in the film reminiscent of Paris, Texas — having characters closed off from each other by one-way mirrors — and also Todd Haynes’s Safe, at least thematically, in terms of the way it portrays a character increasingly closed off from the culture in which she lives. |
 | | Julianne Moore’s defining moment in Safe, for instance, is when when she looks in the mirror at the end of the film and says, “I love you,” raising questions as to whether the film is not only about real or imagined disease, but also about self-love and self-hatred. |
