唯爱侦察

50年代的美国，年轻女子特芮丝（鲁妮·玛拉 饰）在纽约百货公司担任售货员，但心中向往的却是摄影师工作。某日，一位美丽优雅的金发贵妇卡罗尔（凯特·布兰切特 饰）来到百货公司购买圣诞节礼物，结果和特芮丝一见投缘。两人相识后特芮丝得知原来卡罗尔有一个女儿，而且正和丈夫哈吉（凯尔·钱德勒 饰）办理离婚手续。通过书信来往、约会相处以及公路旅行，特芮丝和卡罗尔发现彼此就是自己的真爱，然而在当时社会这是不被允许的。特芮丝的男友认为她只是一时迷惑，卡罗尔的丈夫则请私家侦探调查取证，希望在离婚诉讼让中她一无所有。考验两位女性的时刻终于到来了：在社会压力下她们能否坚守内心、不计代价的把感情路走到底？ 《卡罗尔》是美国著名独立导演托德·海恩斯的新作，入围第68届戛纳电影节主竞赛单元，获得最佳女主角奖。电影根据派翠西亚·海史密斯在1952年匿名发表的中篇女同小说《盐的代价》改编，由于题材敏感，最初出版社还拒绝发行。之所以叫“盐的代价”，因为在17世纪“盐”还有另一个意思表示女性的情欲。而在本书中它隐喻了女主们的处境：没有爱情就像没有盐的肉；那么为了这份爱，你愿意付出多少代价?。Chorus girls Polly, Carol and Trixie are ecstatic when they learn that Broadway producer Barney Hopkins is putting on a new show. He promises all of the girls parts in the new show and even hires their neighbor Brad Roberts, an unknown composer, to write some of the music. There's only one problem: he doesn't have the money to bankroll it all. That problem is solved when Brad turns out to be quite rich but he insists that he not perform. When opening night comes, the juvenile lead can't go on forcing Brad to take the stage. He's recognized of course and his upper crust family wants him to quit. When he refuses, they tell him to end his relationship with Polly or face having his income cut off. When Brad's snobbish brother Lawrence mistakes Carol for Polly, the girls decide to have a bit of fun and teach him a lesson.。
