For Queer Cinema Club’s second trip to Prince Edward County, there was no question that of what film we had to screen: Todd Haynes’s 2015 masterpiece Carol, in honour of both its 10th anniversary… and the Christmas season.

Adapted from Patricia Highsmith's 1952 novel The Price of Salt (via a flawless script by Phyllis Nagy), the film stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara (both deservedly Oscar-nominated) as two women who start a forbidden affair in 1950s New York City. 

Carol is arguably the best Christmas movie ever made. It’s also a gorgeous, spellbinding film that will never quite leave you after you're done watching.
