Showtimes for Carol
Part of: Coal or Candy
Presented as a part of Queer Cut
When photographer Therese (Mara) meets the older Carol (Blanchett) during the 1952 Christmas shopping season, the attraction between the two is immediate. Both in fraying relationships with men, Therese and Carol become increasingly drawn to one another amid the pressures of marriage, motherhood, and society's restrictive views toward queer women. Lovingly shot on Super 16mm and simmering with potent chemistry between its leads, Todd Haynes's adaptation of The Price of Salt—the lesbian cult classic novel by Patricia Highsmith—has already become a queer canon staple, a holiday love story that tugs at the gay heartstrings.
