The Co-Pro Market organisers noted there had been a number of strong entries from Georgia this year, with three projects making it to the final line-up, including the French-Georgian production Kartli by Tamar Kalandadze and Julien Pebrel to be produced by Habilis Productions with Georgian filmmaker Salomé Jashi’s company Sakdoc Film.
It is described as “a very personal documentary portraying a Korean-German relationship”, to be produced by Leipzig/Berlin-based Neuefilm. Meanwhile, Kim, whose feature film and VR project Cabinets Of Wonder was shown at DOK Leipzig last year, returns with her new documentary project Becoming Kim. Syrian filmmaker Kalthoum, whose 2017 film Taste of Cement won the Grand Prix in Nyon among numerous other awards, will be in Leipzig with On The Edge Of My Shadow which already has production partners from Germany, France and the Palestinian territories onboard. Zbanic, whose documentary One Day In Sarajevo was shown at DOK Leipzig in 2015, will be pitching Blum about the Jewish Bosnian businessman and philanthropist Emerik Blum.
However, with this paper thin storyline that is overly drawn out, I did not care about the fate of the two main characters and the whole thing left me emotionally cold.New documentaries from Jasmila Zbanic, Ziad Kalthoum and Susanne Kim are among 34 projects from 32 countries selected for this year’s DOK Co-Pro Market (October 17-18) taking place during DOK Leipzig. I did like the performances, even though Blanchett was a bit stagey. It is shot beautifully and the meticulous attention to period detail sumptuously captures the era.īut in the words of Leiber and Stoller as sung by Peggy Lee, is that all there is? Apparently so. Haynes once again chooses style over substance here.

We do occasionally see her young daughter as well as husband Kyle Chandler, who wants a divorce as he finds it difficult to accept her sexual orientation.ĭirector Todd Haynes tackled 1950's same sex, suburban romance before with "Far From Heaven." That movie dealt with a closeted, married man, and in some ways this film could be looked upon as a companion piece. There is very little character development, particularly with Carol herself, who's given practically no backstory. It's all punctuated by an overly melodramatic score that sounds like it is right out of an old B-movie, cueing you in, annoyingly, when something dramatic happens. The dialogue is sparse and what little there is frequently is delivered with what feels like endless silence between each line. The pacing of the film is so slow and boring as it is basically just a dance of desire for the first three quarters of the movie. Now I understand that this was taboo subject matter when the Patricia Highsmith novel this is based on came out in the repressed, close-minded 1950's. The time is 1952 and Mara, who for some inexplicable reason is made up to look like Audrey Hepburn, plays Therese, a department store clerk who winds up having an affair with Carol, a wealthy, older married woman from New Jersey played by Blanchett. Time Warner Cable News’ Neil Rosen filed the following review. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara star in a 1950's period drama “Carol,” directed by Todd Haynes.
