With his first feature, Haynes took his influence from the patron saint of all queer outlaw art, Jean Genet. The result was a trio of intercut, stylistically distinct stories drawn together by their conceptual rigor and openly gay themes. Caught in the NEA culture wars of the time, Poison has the badge of honor of being denounced by Sen. Jesse Helms. A landmark of the New Queer Cinema and the feature debut of producer Christine Vachon.
