Cate Blanchett also claims that her relationship experiences with other women have helped her today with her career. Blanchett is using her life experiences and playing on them in her latest film “Carol” which premieres at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17.
Cate Blanchett reveals torrid sexual past
“Carol” is based on the 1952 Patricia Highsmith novel “The Price of Salt,” and stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. The highly anticipated Indie film is set in 1950s New York, and tells the story of a forbidden love affair between a female department-store clerk (Rooney Mara) who dreams of a better life and falls for an older, married woman (Blanchett). The same sex love relationships were in no way accepted by society as they are today, and the film reveals the inner personal struggles of the two women as they live their lives denying their true feelings and who they really are.
