The film tells the story of a romance between two women (Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara), combining in one film classic Hollywood chic, romance, and secrecy. The debonair and magical vision of New York, created by Todd Haynes and the famous cinematographer Edward Lachman, makes references to the canvases of genius American painter Edward Hopper, classical photography, and the great American melodramas of the 1950s, remaining simultaneously emotionally distant and heightened. “Carol” has already become one of the most discussed films of the season and received a multitude of awards, including Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival (Rooney Mara). The picture received six Oscar nominations, including Best Actress (Cate Blanchett) and Best Supporting Actress (Rooney Mara).

Drama. US 2015, 124 min. Directed by Jay Roach. Starring: Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, John Getz, John Goodman. In English with Russian subtitles. California, the 1940s. Dalton Trumbo is one of the richest, most successful Hollywood screenwriters, known today to the whole world as the author of “Roman Holiday” and “Spartacus.” He never suspected that the “Hollywood Ten” blacklist actually existed until he himself wound up on it in 1947, owing to his Communist views, and got kicked out of the ‘dream factory.’ This is the story of his fight with the Hollywood system, the American government, and the studio bosses of the McCarthy era. This is a biopic about the famous 1940s Hollywood screenwriter, Dalton Trumbo, who wrote his best-known, Oscar-winning screenplay while in hiding behind another writer’s name.

For the title role, Bryan Cranston, the star of “Breaking Bad,” received a 2016 Oscar nomination (Best Actor).
