Our points seem to me to be quite different, Mine is that Far From Heaven is connected to contemporary life. There is no denying that tese themes are still big issues today. As for the surface style, props, wigs etc. What would you have him do? It's a period piece.
I don't dispute that Haynes is deeply interested in style, all his works are, They are also deeply sincere. A balance I think most works of post-modernism rarely achieve.
And yes, some things were worse back then, but his film isn't about the "worst things" of the 1950's. It's set in CT. Not China or Littlerock.
