A young sales clerk (Rooney Mara) finds herself in an unexpected relationship with a sophisticated older woman (Cate Blanchett) in director Todd Haynes’s achingly romantic drama, adapted by Phyllis Nagy from the groundbreaking novel by thriller specialist Patricia Highsmith. The film earned Oscar nominations for the heartfelt performances of Blanchett and Mara, Nagy’s deft screenplay, Carter Burwell’s subtle score, Sandy Powell’s vivid costumes, and the cinematography of three-time nominee Ed Lachman (Far from Heaven, El Conde), whose use of 16mm elegantly evokes 1950s America.
