The style of the film [Lejos del cielo] simulates that of a 1950s movie soap opera. Specifically, it mimics the look, feel and some of the iconography of a handful of melodramas Douglas Sirk made in Hollywood during this period - especially Magnificent Obsession(1954), All That Heaven Allows (1955) and Imitation of Life (1959). In one respect this connection should not be overstated. The film draws on a large fund of references, not just Sirk, for its evocation of the era, from the stories of John Cheever or books like The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1955) or The Organization Man (1956), to other movies of the time like Max Ophuls’ The Reckless Moment (1949) (recently remade as The Deep End (2001)) and the film version of Peyton Place (1957).
