	Safe (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Safe is a 1995 drama/thriller film directed by Todd Haynes.
		As the film progresses two possible, not mutually exclusive, explanations emerge: the first, is that Moore's "illness" is, in fact, only psychosomatic; the second, is that she suffers from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS, also known as "Twentieth-Century Disease"), a medically controversial diagnosis in which the patient is putatively allergic to everyday household and industrial chemicals.
		Safe was produced by Christine Vachon, founder of Killer Films and so-called godmother of the New Queer Cinema.

	Storage and Handling of Unprocessed Film
		Exposed and unprocessed film that has been properly refrigerated retains the speed and contrast of the exposure conditions, but the overall D-min, toe and grain will continue to increase.
		If the film is used in subzero temperatures there are devices available to warm the camera and magazines so that the film can run smoothly and silently.
		Film can tolerate some x-ray exposure but excessive amounts result in objectionable fog (an increase in base film density and a noticeable increase in grain).

	AMIA: Home: Services: Shrinkage Gauge: How Should the Results Be Interpreted?
		As a general rule, for safe film viewing on machines with sprocketed drives, such as a flatbed editing machine or commercial copying operations, 8mm or 16mm film should have a shrinkage of 0.8% or less.
		Films with a level of shrinkage higher than mentioned above should not be subjected to any form of projection with normal commercial equipment.
		However, film to video transfers using "sprocketless" drive mechanisms such as a Rank-Cintel may be successful, but the level of shrinkage should be discussed with the transfer lab before proceeding.

	Film Club: Safe - Arts and Faith
		I've not taken part in a film club discussion before, but it sounds like the protocol is to wait with further thoughts until others have had a chance to post their preliminary thoughts.
		Apparently, the film was made for less than a million dollars, which is almost unheard of; one of the ways they saved money was by utilizing the homes of what seems like Haynes' entire family--his parents' drive, his uncle's home, his grandparents' kitchen, etc. And of course, this pristine suburban vacuity is therefore completely authentic.
		Of course, the film isn't a "disease of the week" exposé of Carol's illness, either, and its specificities are deliberately left unclarified.

	Dual Lens - Safe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In typical films, a scene progresses from a long- to medium-distance master shot to increasingly closer camera angles, or a shot/counter shot of two characters having a conversation, giving a greater sense of the characters and their subjectivity.
		It is hard to rest a film on a character who is so intent on pushing herself to the margins, particularly when the film’s use of master shots distances the audience from her and the other characters, only allowing us to feel sympathy for her, not with her.
		The film places the audience in a similar position with regard to itself and its meaning as Carol is to her disease and its meaning.

	Film and Fiction Fusion
		Let me explain: a safe film for critics and Hollywood types is one that pushes the boundaries, but stays within the boundaries.
		Sure, it has its flaws—the formation of the bond between the two men, which the story hangs on, is anemically developed, and the aging of two boyish men over decades requires some suspension of disbelief—but the wrenching saga of being trapped and unable to love freely is heartfelt and universal.
		Films like Syriana, Munich or A History of Violence are more straight faced, single facetted beasts that ask a lot of the viewer, both throughout and afterwards.

	Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Living / Arts / Gay film fest lineup is safe and sincere
		Taken together, the films imply that a gay and lesbian film festival is not an artistic bazaar but a self-help workshop.
		What Boston's festival is missing is a film with something powerful to say, a point of view to put across, ground to break, or a need to entertain without apology.
		Absent from the festival are films like ''Mysterious Skin," ''The Dying Gaul," ''Loggerheads," ''Happy Endings," ''Harry and Max," ''Transamerica," and ''The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things," all of which in some way advance the conversation about what being gay is or can be in the movies.

		Leave the clear liner on the film, and mount the outside of the curl of the film onto the glass after you put a ¼" border of double-sided tape around the inside perimeter of the window.
		Handling film on a ladder is at least twice as difficult as applying film to a large patio door by yourself.
		As you rip the film from the window, the tearing sound you hear is the shredding of the old adhesive as part of it comes away with the film and part of it remains on the glass.

	O.F.C.S.: The Online Film Critics Society
		Every action in Todd Haynes' commentative film distills the thought that Carol's condition is produced by her community and setting, although, I should note, interpretations resorted to Safe are entirely subjective.
		She is the film's target for sympathy, although any citation of Safe's sympathy is remotely unjust without mention of the comedy that supplements most every scene, as the previously cited one carefully denotes.
		Safe is an exceedingly rare film in that it contains this humanistic capacity to provoke.

	SAFE - Production Notes
		When the film's release was enjoined by the Carpenter family, the film became an underground cult classic.
		According to Haynes, "'SAFE' is purposefully set about as far outside the present day 'war zone' as I could imagine, in a world as protected and insulated as you could hope to find.
		One ironic incident that occurred during the filming of "SAFE" was the earthquake that struck the Los Angeles area during the third week of production.

		As Safe quietly satirises the 80s, the delayed release improves it, adding another layer of perspective to a heroine who lives life in a series of bubbles.
		It's 1987, and timid California housewife Carol (a young Julianne Moore) is immersed in upper-middle class minutiae – ensuring her couch is the right colour, sleepwalking through a tepid aerobics class, and submitting to her husband (Greg White from 24).
		Safe is a very interesting film about a woman so overwhelmed by her environment that she becomes allergic to it.

		The test results indicated that, in the case of color transparency films rated between ISO 50 and 1600, up to 16 passes through the scanner didn't do any damage at all.
		BandW films were similarly unaffected up to i6 scans even when pushed to ISO 3200.

	Vault 1 - Review: Mrs Dalloway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Once in a long while, a film truly deserving of the title "beautiful" comes along, and although we are early yet into 1998, it is safe to say that "Mrs Dalloway" is one of the most beautiful films that will be overlooked at Oscar time next year.
		Although she speaks of frivolous pursuits such as buying flowers and worrying about her guest seating etc, Redgrave's line delivery immediately alerts us to the fact that Clarissa, far from being as staid and comfortable as her name suggests, is a woman full of hidden frustrations and regret.
		The heart, soul and center of the film, she embodies the very person of her character, from her voice, physical manner and appearance and being, and truly brings to life the enigmatic and troubled woman.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Fail-Safe: Special Edition (1964)
		It seems not that long ago that film fans were debating the merits of two asteroid-hurtling-towards-Earth movies, but in 1964 moviegoers faced an equally odd situation, as Stanley Kubrick's Dr.
		What's more, both films were released by Columbia Pictures (to the detriment of Fail-Safe in fact, which debuted after Strangelove and had a weaker box-office).
		And with that sort of aesthetic, Fail-Safe is almost a pure actor's movie, a film that completely depends on the performers, and particularly their vocal skills.

	Is The Lord of the Rings Safe?
		He happened upon a magic ring during that adventure, and as the film opens, Bilbo is about to celebrate his 111th birthday by disappearing on another adventure and willing his estate to his young cousin Frodo, including the magic ring.
		For such an important character in the story, his film version is nothing but a vapid computer-generated concoction, a pathetic spook in the night with no meaning.
		The film is a sincere, loving adaptation by a genuine fan, and does indeed allow you to visit Middle-earth, not only with breathtaking, state-of-the-art movie magic images, but with a respectful portrayal of the story, the characters, and the environment itself that, if not exactly matching your imagination all these years, still satisfies.

	Vault 1 - Review: Ashes of Time
		Not bad, considering the film barely made any money anywhere in the world it was released; many complained of its pretentious staging, the fragmented "plot" and the general haze of "artiness" that permeates the entire film.
		In Wong's film, however, the hands of time have been turned back, and the focus is primarily on the two men, now portrayed in their prime, and seeks to "explain" the beginnings of their bitter feud in a progressive manner.
		That said, the film is still a sight to behold: barren sets and landscapes lend an added air of desolation to the on-goings, and the stark, untidy adornments the cast model mirror the internal turmoil their characters go through.

		"SAFE" tells the story of Carol White, a Los Angeles housewife whose affluent environment turns against her in the form of an inexplicable illness.
		When she is diagnosed with an immunity disorder called "Twentieth Century Disease," and sets off to New Mexico in search of treatment, Carol's journey turns inward.
		And, in the crisis of identity that results, "SAFE" reveals the ways in which disease infests our basic sense of who we are.

		Maybe it's safe to call it the ominous rumblings beneath the surface of Carol's life, from antiseptic affluence to septic isolation in the spa environment.
		The miracle of this film is that somehow Todd Haynes makes it compelling to watch Julianne Moore play Carol White, an inspid waif completely lost and languishing in the asylum of her huge house in San Fernando Valley.
		Carol White and her fellow acoyltes at the "sanctuary" are all brain-numbed on the humorless cult of New Age therapy, giving credence to a motivation speaker who lives in a grand mansion overlooking the shack house squalor of his followers.

	FILM REVIEW -- Even in Suburbia, No One Is `Safe' / Unsettling film about environmental illness
		In ``Safe,'' suburbia isn't a refuge but a place where hazards lurk beneath the laminated surfaces, where trusting souls like Carol White fall prey to dyes, fumes and mysterious multisyllabic chemicals.
		His style recalls the eerie austerity of Stanley Kubrick's films and suggests a seething, unnamed menace under the hushed, metallic veneer.
		For all its flaws and vagueness, ``Safe'' is smart, challenging and provocative -- a film that gives you plenty to chew on, long after Carol's sad tale has wound down.

	Other Voices 2.3 (January 2005), Julie Grossman, "The Trouble with Carol: The Costs of Feeling Good in Todd Haynes's ...
		Second, the film subverts the principle of ameliorative cinema, a shallow optimism where a feminist position can only be imagined in terms of paradigms of role-modelling, which holds troubling implications for the prospect of feminist representation.
		[Safe] is not, as I have suggested, invested in whether or not Carol's illness is real, if what we mean by real is something like biochemical: her symptoms are not indicative of individual sickness but of the disease inherent in the modern industrial landscape.
		See Naismith: "The brackets that enclose the word "safe" in the film's title point to the way Carol seeks to secure a sense of identity by conforming to the roles expected of her within such closed systems as patriarchy, medicine, and alternative therapies—discourses that seemingly offer orderly, rational, and complete answers" (363).
