Carol (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Carter Burwell's intimate Academy Award-nominated score for the Todd Haynes 2015 romantic drama film Carol.

Reflecting the film's 1950s setting, Burwell's score brings together the main elements of the movie using a jazz-influenced chamber ensemble.

Starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, Carol is the story of a forbidden affair between an aspiring photographer and an older woman going through a divorce. The soundtrack also contains songs from the film, including Easy Living by Billie Holiday, which Carol receives as a gift and plays multiple times.
