Carol, like its namesake, is pure seduction, a midcentury love story whose every element—from its carefully arranged period detail to its gorgeously grainy 16mm cinematography to the unforgettable swell of Carter Burwell’s score—seems calibrated to allure.
Speaking of that “unforgettable” score, it’s getting a special, limited edition double-vinyl release on June 24, courtesy of Varèse Sarabande and Universal Music Group. The soundtrack comes in a beautiful gatefold jacket and includes an album of Burwell’s score, as well as an album featuring music from the 1950s. Take a look:
