Carol (Haynes, 2015): Prince Charles Cinema, 8.30pm


This 35mm presentation is part of the Little White Lies at 100 season. Details here.

Little White Lies introduction:
It remains a travesty that Todd Haynes’ 2014 melodrama Carol was snubbed by awards committees across the board, but that didn’t stop us celebrating it on the cover of our 62nd issue, with an amazing cover illustration of Rooney Mara by illustrator Timba Smits. In this masterful, heart-crushing work, Mara and Cate Blanchett play a pair of romantically idle women in '50s New York who meet cute in a department store and begin an intense affair. A gorgeous evocation of classic-era cinema, and the perfect pre-Christmas treat. With an intro by LWLies editor-at-large, Adam Woodward.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
