Carol has soared confidently across the festival circuit, attracting high praise, awards buzz, and plaudits for cast and director. Todd Haynes’ latest film, the film that had the critics losing themselves in a search for superlatives with which to gush over the film, opens here in the UK on the 27th of November.

This week in a series of interviews conducted by James Kleinmann we’ll be hearing from the main players in the endeavour to bring Patricia Highsmith’s story to cinematic life. Today we begin with lead actress Cate Blanchett.

You can read our review of the film from its Cannes premiere here, and check out our other videos including the full press conference from the London Film Festival.
