Synopsis

For three decades, award-winning independent filmmaker Todd Haynes, who emerged in the early 1990s as a foundational figure in New Queer Cinema, has gained critical recognition for his outsider perspective. Today, Haynes is widely known for bringing women's stories to the screen. Analyzing Haynes's films including Safe (1995), Velvet Goldmine (1998), Far from Heaven (2002), and Carol (2015), as well as his unauthorized Karen Carpenter biopic, Superstar (1987), and the television miniseries Mildred Pierce (2011), the contributors to Reframing Todd Haynes reassess his work in light of his long-standing feminist commitments and his exceptional career as a director of women's films. They present multiple perspectives on Haynes's film and television work and on his role as an artist-activist who draws on academic theorizations of gender and cinema. The volume illustrates the influence of feminist theory on Haynes's aesthetic vision, most evident in his persistent interest in the political and formal possibilities afforded by the genre of the woman's film. The contributors contend that no consideration of Haynes's work can afford to ignore the crucial place of feminism within it.
