Carol (2015)
Based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel “The Price of Salt,” published under her pseudonym Claire Morgan
In a gorgeous adaptation of queer romance novel “The Price of Salt,” Carol stars Cate Blanchett as Carol Aird, an elegant socialite who is completely taken by the shy aspiring photographer Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara). Aware of the consequences their relationship will have in fifties New York, Carol and Therese are hesitant at the outset, but their feelings simply cannot be masked.
From TYF’s Best Movies of 2015: Breaking ground and hearts alike, Carol is as nuanced and buzzing as ever a romantic drama can be, weaving a tale of taboo something-like-love. The intimate story that quickly but quietly blossoms between Carol and Therese will touch you, and the sensation will linger long after the film’s almost-final words are spoken.
