Review of Carol (1974) by Alex H — 13 Dec 2015
Carol is a divine, misty and seductive film that captures the essence of infatuation beautifully. Todd Haynes has crafted a film that oozes class where everything from the framing to the production design to the score evokes a palpable romantic atmosphere not only for the period but for the story and characters themselves.
Cate Blanchett is flawless and the chemistry between her and Rooney Mara is remarkable and a joy to see grow and evolve through the films steadily paced runtime. While sometimes a touch too melodramatic, Carol truly is a rare treat and a seasonal film to boot! Sooo go see it.
.. QUICK!
