“It’s Just Not Turning Up”: Cinematic Vision and Environmental Justice in Todd Haynes’s Safe

Abstract

This essay argues that Todd Haynes’s queer visual techniques have a unique political purchase in Safe: they draw attention to the film’s literally and figuratively marginal figures, and to the environmental health risks they face. The film thus represents, without reproducing, the ways that the working poor are rendered invisible.
