Forbidden Romance, Complex Relationships, Based on Novel, 1950s, LGBT
An absolutely gorgeous and captivating adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel, The Price of Salt. Both Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett perform to stunning perfection. You can feel the tension and repression of their relationship and that whole time period in every frame. This is a story about what is not spoken, about taking a risk, about being true to yourself and disregarding reputation. And unlike so many stories about forbidden love, this one actually has a hopeful end. It is also about women trying to live honestly and with dignity in a world created for men.
