Todd Haynes’ period piece, Carol received a lot of enthusiastic praise when it screened earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival. The first trailer for the film has emerged showing Cate Blanchett as a woman in a loveless marriage who falls for a department store worker played by Mara Rooney.
The Weinstein Company are set to release the film on November 20. It’s based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 romance novel, The Price Of Salt, which created a sensation in its day, defying the mid-century pulp formula by allowing a same-sex couple to find happiness.

Exquisite. Rooney and Cate burst out of the screen without hardly moving a muscle. Bravo Todd, bravo. Magic.
