A new featurette for the lesbian
romance film Carol includes interviews with the entire
ensemble cast.
Based on Patricia Highsmith's (under
the pseudonym Claire Morgan) 1952 novel The
Price of Salt, the film – set in 1950s New York –
revolves around department-store clerk Therese (played by Rooney
Mara) as she falls for Carol, an older, married woman (Cate
Blanchett).
The film has generated Oscar buzz since
its May premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
The Weinstein Company, which is
distributing the film, is planning a slow platform release for Carol.
Distribution won't go wide until after Oscar nominations are
announced in mid-January.
The new featurette allows viewers to go
behind the scenes and hear from the entire ensemble cast, including
Sarah Paulson, who plays a former lover of Carol in the film.
