The ‘Carol’ Poster is Here and It’s Stunning

Published by

The first poster for Carol has arrived and it’s quite a stunner.

Upon first glance it throws you off by having both Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara partially cut from the frame. But then the nuance of the photos set in and say so much; you see Blanchett’s wrinkles around her eyes just ever so slightly, hinting at her age and with a look in her eye and with a barely upturned mouth that suggests at a guarded self. The richness in the textures of her golden hair and fur are luxurious. This is wonderfully contrasted by Mara’s porcelain visage and wide-eyed appearance that exposes her youth and naiveté and the modesty of the single pearl earring is exquisite.

The women face in opposite directions but one can imagine that side by side they could be in the same frame. There’s a calculated cautiousness to this presentation that practically eeks out suspense of what this scene entails.

Here is the poster:

 

Carol, directed by Todd Haynes, will be released November 20th by The Weinstein Company.

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
