English Summary:

Carol is a 2015 drama film directed by Todd Haynes. The screenplay, written by Phyllis Nagy, is based on the 1952 romance novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith (republished as Carol in 1990). The film stars Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson, Jake Lacy, and Kyle Chandler. Set in New York City during the early 1950s, Carol tells the story of a forbidden affair between an aspiring female photographer and an older woman going through a difficult divorce.

Carol had been in development since 1997, when Nagy wrote the first draft of the screenplay. British company Film4 Productions and its then-chief executive Tessa Ross financed development. The film had a troubled development period, facing problems with financing, rights, scheduling conflicts, and accessibility. Number 9 Films came on board as a producer in 2011, when Elizabeth Karlsen secured the rights to the novel. The film is co-produced by New York-based Killer Films, which joined the project in 2013 after Haynes's collaborator Christine Vachon approached him to direct. Principal photography on the British-American production began in March 2014, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and lasted 34 days. Cinematographer Edward Lachman shot Carol on Super 16 mm film.

Carol competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, where Mara tied for the Best Actress award. The film received many accolades, including five Golden Globe Award nominations, six Academy Award nominations, and nine BAFTA Award nominations; as well as five Dorian Awards and awards from the New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and National Society of Film Critics. It became the best reviewed film of 2015, as calculated by Metacritic. The film premiered in the United Kingdom on October 14, 2015, followed by theatrical release on November 27, 2015. It opened in limited release in the United States on November 20, 2015, and wide release on January 15, 2016.

Hungarian Summary:

Az ötvenes évek gazdasági fellendülése idején a húszas éveiben járó Therese (Rooney Mara) Manhattan egyik nagyáruházában dolgozik eladóként, és naphosszat a jobb életről, és a szerelemről álmodozik. Egy nap találkozik a jómódú Carollal (Cate Blanchett), aki kihűlt házasságában vergődik, és amit talán csak kislánya iránti imádata tart egyben. A két nő között rögtön szikrázni kezd a levegő, és kezdetben ártatlannak induló találkozásuk az érzelmek hatására gyorsan elmélyül. Carol féltékeny és továbbra is szerelmes férje (Kyle Chandler) meg akarja kérdőjelezni a nő anyai rátermettségét, valamint erkölcsösségét. Később pedig további, mélyre elásott titok is felszínre kerül a múltból.
