One of the filmakers who appears to have been influenced by Hoppers paintings is Todd Haynes, director of Far From Heaven.
Far From Heaven is set in 1957 and deals with difficult subjects like homophobia and racism. It uses vivid autumnal colours reminiscent of a Hopper painting. The people also seem to bear the same expressionless faces, for example the men in the bar scene compared with the Hopper painting 'Nighthawk'.
