HBO Directors Dialogues: Todd Haynes

Part of

53rd New York Film Festival

September 25 - October 11, 2015

A genuinely independent filmmaker, Todd Haynes has an impressive body of work that is grounded in the pressures of conformity, bearing down on individuals and sometimes resulting in illness or other forms of entrapment, sometimes in transcendence. With Carol, Haynes has given us a delicately nuanced work about the slowly evolving romance between two women in 1950s America that is a wonder to behold. We’re excited to have this singular artist joining us for a discussion about his work.

A genuinely independent filmmaker, Todd Haynes has an impressive body of work that is grounded in the pressures of conformity, bearing down on individuals and sometimes resulting in illness (Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, Safe) or other forms of entrapment (Far from Heaven, Mildred Pierce), sometimes in transcendence (Velvet Goldmine, I’m Not There). With Carol, his remarkable new adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s The Price of Salt, Haynes has given us a delicately nuanced work about the slowly evolving romance between two women in 1950s America, and found a reverberant emotionalism with his actors (Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara) and his cinematographer (the great Ed Lachman) that is a wonder to behold. We’re excited to have this singular artist joining us for a discussion about his work.

Catch Todd Haynes’s new film, Carol, in this year’s Main Slate.
