Carol
Leaving March 31
•
1h 58m
Directed by Todd Haynes • 2015 • United States
Starring Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Kyle Chandler
Todd Haynes’s sumptuous, aching adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel “The Price of Salt” deploys the mechanics of classical melodrama in service of a moving and subversive queer love story for the ages. Set in a beautifully and meticulously rendered recreation of 1950s New York, CAROL stars Cate Blanchett as the elegant, affluent, eponymous housewife, trapped in a loveless marriage, whose budding relationship with a young shopgirl (Rooney Mara) sends them both on a quest to find the freedom to love within a repressive society.
