Based on the novel "The Price Of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith, the 1950s set tale centers on the romance that blooms between a married woman and young department store clerk. But don’t think of it as strictly a lesbian tale. "Because the love story here is between two women, I think the audience feels like they’re seeing something dangerous and uncharted, in the same way that anyone — whether they’re transgendered, bi, straight, lesbian, gay — does when they fall head over heels for someone for the very first time," Blanchett told Rolling Stone. "But I think what Todd was interested in bringing out was the sensation of being in love profoundly for the first time. It feels as if you’re inventing the wheel."
Check out the new promos below along with Carter Burwell’s full score, and some Australian posters. "Carol" is now playing in limited release.
