Safe is a 1995 American psychological horror film written and directed by Todd Haynes and starring Julianne Moore. Set in 1987, it follows a suburban housewife in Los Angeles whose monotonous life is abruptly changed when she becomes sick with a mysterious illness which she believes is caused by the environment around her.
The film topped the "best film of the 1990s" poll by The Village Voice,[3][4] and was described by critics as "the scariest film of the year",[3] "a mesmerizing horror movie",[5] and "a work of feminist counter-cinema".[6] Twenty years after the film's release, Haynes said its themes—disease and immunity in a post-industrial landscape and how recovery is a burden often placed on victims of illness—were even more relevant than they were when the film was released.[7]
