Carol (2015)
Dir. Todd Haynes
Carol (2015)
Dir. Todd Haynes
“…shooting through glass, and windows, and reflections kept making you think about the act of lookingandbeing looked at…you feel the choice of an optical experience.” - Todd Haynes
“Carol, the very best film of the year (if not the decade), is obsessed with the visibility of women, the gazes they cast, and the gazes cast upon them. In Todd Haynes’ unspeakably beautiful adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s semi-autobiographical novel about a 1950s Manhattan shopgirl (Rooney Mara) who is thunderstruck by a mutual infatuation with a well-to-do housewife (Cate Blanchett), the film illustrates—among other things—how falling in love is an act of looking, while being in love is an act of seeing.” - David Ehrlich

And suddenly the whole world of the last month, like a tremendous lie, cracked and almost toppled.

‘Certain Women’, Kelly Reichardt (2016)
— Why were you afraid of selling shoes?
— Have you ever sold shoes?
— I mean, why were you afraid you couldn’t get anything else?
— I don’t know. Because my mom works in a school cafeteria, my sister in a hospital laundry. So, selling shoes is the nicest job a girl from my family’s supposed to get.
