Carol

One of the best bands of 2015, a provocative drama about the uneasy relationship between the two women gets to our screens in March 2016, but it now successfully under way in American cinema and will almost certainly bring major movie awards to its creators. "Carol", based on the novel "the Price of salt" by Patricia Highsmith, caused a thunderous ovation after its premiere at the Cannes film festival and immediately gave rise to comparisons with another drama about a lesbian relationship "the Life of Adele", another Cannes winner. "Life Adele" is a riot of colors and emotions, and "Carol" — her older sister is an introvert, cold and restrained, but no less attractive.
An employee of a toy store falls in love with a rich housewife from the suburbs, in the process of a divorce and fighting for custody of her daughter. The film is set in new York 50-ies — the period podrazumevaju of taboo on same-sex relationships. Unlike most modern film and television projects depicting the events of that time, "Carol" doesn't seem stylization. This film gives the feeling of total immersion in the era — so here worked out all the details, and this is perhaps the main merit of the Director Todd Haynes. But "Carol" would not have received world recognition, if not for two absolutely amazing women — cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. More recently the Blanchett received an Academy award for his starring role in the film "Blue Jasmine", and then this role seemed to be the vertex of her acting. But looking at how her Carol without words, with one glance tells the audience about his unhappy marriage in the scene of the first conversation with the husband, it becomes obvious that the talent of this actress truly endless. Rooney Mara, already well familiar to us by starring in the film "the Girl with the dragon tattoo" turned into a silent and hesitant, but gentle loving girl — at the moment this is the best role in her career. In this film there are no excessive moralizing. The problem of intolerance to homosexuality, though rising, but also is not dominant. "Carol" is, oddly enough, the film is about emotional maturity, freedom of choice, freedom as such. And, of course, about love. "Carol" is in the lead in my list of favorite films of 2015, sharing the championship with "Mad Max: Fury Road". And if the latter — rumbling celebration of madness, "Carol" is elegant and tender story of a relationship where "I love you" sounds only once, but if you can feel anything, this phrase, uttered almost in a whisper, be sure to make your heart beat faster.
