Review of Carol (1990) by Christian C — 07 May 2016
Carol is beautifully filmed, with elegant costumes, makeup and hair. The acting is superb, taking full advantage of a subtle script that allows the actors to plumb some unsettling depths of their characters.
Perhaps among the most unsettling themes explored involves the juxtaposition of the naivety of youth with the imprudent self-deception of an experienced woman who is struggling to manage the countervailing demands of society and her own true nature.
"Carol" is both agonizing and delicious.
