Todd Haynes' first feature-following the underground short sensation Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story-this groundbreaking American indie is a thrilling work of immense visual invention. Inspired by the writings of Jean Genet, Poison deftly interweaves a trio of transgressive tales-\"Hero,\" \"Horror\" and \"Homo\" that build toward a devastating climax. \"Hero,\" shot in a mock tabloid-TV style, tells a bizarre story of suburban patricide and a miraculous flight from justice; \"Horror,\" filmed like a delirious '50s B-movie melodrama, is a gothic tale of a mad sex experiment which unleashes a disfiguring plague; while \"Homo\" explores the obsessive sexual relationship between two prison inmates. A runaway hit which made national headlines when it was attacked by conservative figures including Dick Armey, Ralph Reed and minister Donald Wildmon, Poison is audacious, unforgettable and thoroughly entertaining.","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59465547415633,"sku":"ZEIT1135DVD","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/1825678.jpg?v=1777994062","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/poison-1991-poison-1991-dvd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
