The Movie Moles review the film "Carol" directed by Todd Haynes.
Movie Moles Frann Michel and Denise Morris review Carol, the latest feature from director Todd Haynes (perhaps best known for the Douglas Sirk homage Far From Heaven); Carol is currently playing in Portland at the Hollywood Theatre.
Carol, directed by Todd Haynes, is based on the 1952 novel originally titled The Price of Salt, written by Patricia Highsmith, who also wrote Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley Like Highsmith's Ripley novels, The Price of Salt was unusual for its day in allowing the protagonist to escape the typical fate of literary characters who violate the conventions and rules of bourgeois life. This film has gotten almost universal praise from critics and viewers, and it's well worth seeing.
