All That Heaven Allows

References in other films

All That Heaven Allows inspired Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974),[16] in which a mature woman falls in love with an Arab man. It was spoofed by John Waters with his film Polyester (1981).[17] Todd Haynes' Far from Heaven (2002) is an homage to Sirk's work, in particular All That Heaven Allows and Imitation of Life (1959).[18] François Ozon's 8 Women (8 Femmes, 2002) features winter scenes and deer reminiscent of this film.[19]
