Prepare your morning emotions: the trailer for ‘Carol‘ is out, and it looks like a heartbreaker.
Cate Blanchett is the older, married woman – the eponymous Carol – who falls in love with Therese (Rooney Mara), a department store clerk. Set in ’50s New York, the film depicts the struggles of same-sex relationships in a less tolerant decade.
The film premiered at Cannes and was selected to compete for the Palme d’Or prize (which ended up going to Jacques Audiard‘s ‘Dheepan‘); it also earned Mara a tied award for Best Actress, and scooped the Queer Palm award.
Watch the trailer here:
“We gave each other the most breathtaking of gifts.” Oh god oh god oh god, please let everything work out for them and give this film a happy ending. Please?
‘Carol’ is hitting the Adelaide Film Festival October 18, and getting an official release on January 14.
