I saw a movie last night on the subject of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) one of the main symptoms of our unrecognized epidemic. It is called "Safe" released in 1995. Starring: Julianne Moore, Xander Berkeley, James Le Gros, Peter Friedman (more credits)
Directed by: Todd Haynes
More info can be found by doing a search at www.ifilm.com
Synopsis: Carol White (Julianne Moore), a bored Los Angeles housewife, seems to have everything: an exquisite home, money, friends, a loving husband. But when she begins to suffer symptoms of a mysterious illness, her world collapses around her, as she learns that it is her environment that is what is making her so sick. What begins as minor coughing spells from fragrances and car fumes, soon turns into a violent physical and emotional reaction to everyday life. Director Todd Haynes weaves a chilling, sardonic tale of
complacency and alienation as seen through modern day life.
Distributor: Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment.
