In an adaptation of
Patricia Highsmith’s seminal novel The Price of Salt, CAROL follows two women
from very different backgrounds who find themselves in an unexpected love
affair in 1950s New York. As conventional norms of the time challenge their
undeniable attraction, an honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the
heart in the face of change. A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet (Rooney
Mara), is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a
more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett), an alluring woman
trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. As an immediate connection sparks
between them, the innocence of their first encounter dims and their connection
deepens. While Carol breaks free from the confines of marriage, her husband
(Kyle Chandler) begins to question her competence as a mother as her
involvement with Therese and close relationship with her best friend Abby
(Sarah Paulson) come to light. Carol is directed by Todd Haynes and written by
Phyllis Nagy with moving performances from Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah
Paulson, Kyle Chandler, Jake Lacy and Cory Michael Smith.
