Carol is a romantic drama by Todd Hynes based on the novel The Prince of Salt by Patricia Highsmith. The story is set in New York in 1952, and the cameras focus on a young photographer and her relationship with an older woman going through a stressful divorce. Although time is against them, the attraction between them is stronger than social norms and prejudices.
Carol is a film by Oscar-winning director Todd Hynes (Far From Heaven), based on the acclaimed novel. It focuses on the story of imminent love that confronts prejudice and social differences. Nothing special, you will say, but not if we say that the action is set in the 1950s and that it is about a relationship between two women. The young Theresa (Rooney Mara), a cashier in a New York department store who longs for a better life, and the wealthy and seductive Carol (Cate Blanchett), who lives in a relationship where the flame of love has long since died out.
