Todd Haynes' Far From Heaven is quite possibly the most beautifully photographed movie in modern-day American cinema. Much of the credit must go Director of Photography Ed Lachmann, who decided to use a German Expressionist method to convey emotions. He purposely had the colors in the background of the frame, such as the flowers in this particular scene, match up with the characters' emotions and clothes. Of course when I say "modern-age" that to me is anything post-90's.
