Synopsis |
|
In director Todd Haynes's feature
film debut, POISON, three stories,
each told in their own unique
cinematic style, illustrate the
lives of a people living outside the
fringes of "normal" society. There
is HERO, the pseudo-documentary
about a seven-year-old boy who kills
his own father; HORROR, a sci-fi
spoof about a brilliant research
scientist who becomes the victim of
his own biochemical discovery when
he finds the source of the human sex
drive; and HOMO, a noirish drama
exploring the obsessive, and sexual,
relationship between two male
prisoners. As each compelling story
is told, their themes become
inextricably linked, and the tension
intensifies, culminating in an
explosive climax of unsettled
emotions. |
