Todd Haynes‘ highly anticipated "Carol" hits the Cannes Film Festival very, very soon, and for most us, we can’t be there. Our team will deliver a review, but for everyone else, we’ll have to take whatever we can until the movie gets released (hopefully) later this year. But one thing we can dive into is the soundtrack, and no surprise, it’s period specific.

To recap, the film is based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith, stars Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett, and tells a ’50s set story about the relationship that develops between an older married woman and a young clerk at a department store. To that end, swoony tunes of the era and before will be heard throughout, many of them provided by Grammy-winning Vince Giordano & The Nighthawks, while Paul Thomas Anderson fans will recognize Jo Stafford‘s "No Other Love," which was used to great effect in "The Master."
