Hoezo in KINO

“Cary, let’s face it: you were ready for a love affair, but not for love.” Christmas; t’is the time for TechniColor mid-fifties melodrama and nothing is more cosy yet quietly devastating than Douglas Sirk’s class-defying love story, All That Heaven Allows. The story about a high society lady falling for the rugged blue collar charm of the gardener is as old as time, but Sirk knows how to subvert the setting and every picture perfect setting has an almost Lynchian undertone of mid-century repression bleeding through. They sure don’t make em like this anymore. Presented here in a stunning digital restoration, just in time to celebrate its 70th anniversary. English language without subtitles.
