Movie review originally published on Facebook - YEAR 2
Critique cinéma d'abord publiée sur Facebook - 2ème ANNEE:
2015 @ The Movies Take 141 "Carol" Todd Haynes delivers a beautifully shot love story that is only matched by the superb level of craft of its lead actresses, Cate Blanchett & Rooney Mara. The emotional transformation of both characters always rings true and prevents the film from becoming a flat social commentary about its period. Without betraying the specificity of its context, it deftly explores universal and timely themes of self-acceptance, and personal freedom. One directorial choice that stood out to me is how the two female lovers are often shot through foggy or rainy windows. It gives them this out-of-focus status as if they do not have their place in the world they must live in. A technique reversed at the moment of their initial encounter then the rest of the world falls off-focus. A must-see that definitely deserves some Oscar nod. Experienced at the Angelika Film Center (NYC) on November 24 in theater 1.

And now Carole:
2015 se paie un toile 141ème prise "Carol" (Sortie française le 13 Janvier 2016) Todd Haynes nous livre là une histoire d'amour magnifiquement mise en scène et parfaitement à la hauteur du superbe jeu de ses deux actrices principales, Cate Blanchett & Rooney mara. La transformation émotionnelle des deux personnages ne sonne jamais faux et empêche le film de tomber dans le commentaire sociologique ronflant sur la période. Sans pour autant renier la spécificité de son contexte, le film explore les thèmes universels et courants de la liberté individuelle et la conscience de soi. Un choix de mise en scène qui m'a marqué est la manière dont les deux amantes sont souvent filmées au travers de fenêtres embuées ou ruisselantes. Ça les nimbe de flou comme si elles n'étaient pas à leur place dans le monde où elles doivent exister. Cette technique est inversée au moment de leur rencontre, à ce moment là c'est le reste du monde qui devient flou. Un film à voir qui mérite considération pour les Oscars. Vu au Angelika Film Center (NYC) le 24 Novembre dans la salle 1.
