Carol (2015), directed by Todd Haynes, is a beautifully crafted romantic drama based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price of Salt. Set in 1950s New York, the film follows the tender yet complicated love story between Carol Aird (Cate Blanchett), an elegant woman trapped in a failing marriage, and Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), a young aspiring photographer searching for meaning in her life.

As their relationship deepens, societal pressures and personal sacrifices test their bond. Blanchett delivers a mesmerizing performance, embodying Carol’s grace and quiet suffering, while Mara’s portrayal of Therese captures the innocence and longing of first love. The film’s exquisite cinematography, detailed period aesthetics, and a hauntingly beautiful score by Carter Burwell enhance its emotional depth.
