Poster "Carol"

“Carol” (2015) is Todd Haynes’ exquisite romantic drama set in 1950s New York, chronicling the forbidden relationship between aspiring photographer Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara) and elegant socialite Carol Aird (Cate Blanchett), who is navigating a difficult divorce. Based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel “The Price of Salt,” the film features nuanced, Oscar-nominated performances from both leads, with Blanchett embodying Carol’s sophisticated vulnerability and Mara capturing Therese’s awakening desire and self-discovery. Haynes’ direction and Edward Lachman’s stunning 16mm cinematography create a visual language of longing through reflections, frames within frames, and muted colors that evoke both the period setting and the emotional restraint imposed by society. The film received universal acclaim, earning a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and six Academy Award nominations, though its exclusion from the Best Picture category sparked controversy. Carter Burwell’s subtle, romantic score enhances the film’s exploration of desire and societal constraints, while Sandy Powell’s costume design perfectly captures both the era and the characters’ personalities. Critics particularly praised the film’s restraint and emotional authenticity, with many noting how it subverts the typical tragic narrative of LGBTQ+ stories from this period. “Carol” has since been recognized as one of the defining films of the 2010s, appearing on numerous “best of the decade” lists and establishing itself as a modern classic of LGBTQ+ cinema that portrays same-sex desire with unprecedented sophistication and emotional depth.The poster is printed on thick glossy paper of A3 size (297Г—420 mm).
