A new trailer has arrived for the romantic drama Carol starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. StudioCanal UK just unveiled the trailer for the upcoming film from director Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven, Velvet Goldmine), based on The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, and adapted for the screen by Phyllis Nagy. The cast also includes Kyle Chandler, Jake Lacy, Cory Michael Smith, and Sarah Paulson.
The Plot: Set in 1950s New York, two women from very different backgrounds find themselves in the throes of love in CAROL. 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 (Mara), is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (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 (Chandler) threatens her competence as a mother when Carol’s involvement with Therese and close relationship with her best friend Abby (Paulson) comes to light. As Carol leaves the comfort of home to travel with Therese, an internal journey of self-discovery coincides with her new sense of space.
