Roxy Book Club
Carol
Join us for our new monthly series Roxy Book Club! Which is better, the book or the movie? To find out, take the month of June to read Patricia Highsmith's groundbreaking The Price of Salt and join us in the Roxy Annex at 6pm* for a discussion led by Christina Tripp. Following the discussion will be a screening of the 2015 movie adaptation Carol in the main Roxy theater at 7:30pm.
Carol: Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara) spots the beautiful, elegant Carol (Cate Blanchett) perusing the doll displays in a 1950's Manhattan department store. The two women develop a fast bond that becomes a love affair with complicated consequences. Todd Haynes' beloved adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel earned six Academy Award nominations, and was named by the British Film Institute as the greatest LGBT romance of all time.
*Attendance at the Book Club discussion is not required to see the film!
