Poison

Streaming video - 1991

This groundbreaking American Indie was the most fervently debated film of the 1990s and a trailblazing landmark of queer cinema. A work of immense visual invention, Haynes’ spectacular follow-up to his legendary "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story" is audacious, disturbing and thrillingly cinematic. A runaway theatrical hit and **Sundance Film Festival** Grand Jury Prize winner, which made national headlines and the network news when it was attacked by right-wing minister Donald Wildmon, POISON is unsettling, unforgettable and thoroughly entertaining. Winner of the Teddy for Best Feature Film at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. Nominated for Best First Feature and Best Director at the **Film Independent Spirit Award...s**. "*Arguably the strongest American debut feature of the '90s*." - Rob Nelson, ***Village Voice***
