From the start of his career, Todd Haynes has been examining identities, elements of desire and social norms. He will be in Lyon live and in person at Lumière to introduce new restorations of Poison and Safe… and he has a few surprises up his sleeve for the audience. He will be accompanied by his longtime producer, Christine Vachon.

Three stories loosely inspired by Jean Genet probe figures of marginality and transgression... Todd Haynes's début feature film is a fascinating œuvre that melds together documentary, melodrama and carceral cinema.
A wealthy housewife (Julianne Moore) sees her world fall apart when she develops peculiar physical symptoms... A psychological thriller of the highest caliber.
In the United States of the 1950s, a housewife (Julianne Moore) sees her life upended when she catches her husband (Dennis Quaid) kissing another man... A tribute to Douglas Sirk, a visually opulent melodrama that questions the prejudices of America both in the past and today.
Six actors (Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, Julianne Moore...) draw a sketch of the life and many sides of Bob Dylan, mixing fictional elements, music and myths... A film of rare formal audacity.
