Storia
In early 1950s New York City, Therese Belivet, a young woman in her twenties working as a clerk at a Manhattan department store, meets Carol Aird, an alluring and sophisticated married woman. An immediate connection sparks between them, leading to a deepening relationship that challenges conventional norms of the time. As their affair progresses, Carol's husband begins questioning her competence as a mother, potentially jeopardizing Carol's relationship with their daughter. Meanwhile, Therese, who dreams of a more fulfilling life beyond her job at the department store, finds herself increasingly invested in her relationship with Carol. The story explores the resilience of their connection despite societal pressures and the threat of Carol losing custody of her child.
Riassunto
Carol, directed by Todd Haynes in 2015, is a tender and intimate exploration of love between two women in early 1950s New York City. Adapted from Patricia Highsmith's novel 'The Price of Salt,' the film follows Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), a clerk dreaming of a better life, who meets Carol Aird (Cate Blanchett), an older woman trapped in a loveless marriage. The story captures their evolving relationship against the backdrop of societal norms challenging their attraction. Though limited details about their road trip to Chicago or the resolution of Carol's custody battle are provided, the film is praised for its nuanced portrayal of love and resilience.
