“There are three main themes in the score. The music over the opening city scene plays the active engagement and passion of Carol and Therèse. In this scene it’s telling you something about the characters before you ever see them, since they appear for the first time around the last note, but eventually this will become their love theme.

There is also a theme for Therèse’s fascination with Carol, first played as Carol drives Therèse to her house. This is basically a cloud of piano notes, not unlike the clouded glass through which Todd Haynes and Ed Lachman occasionally shoot the characters. This piano texture required a little studio magic so the left and right hands of the piano could be processed separately - the left disappearing into a cloud and the right still distinct enough to carry a melody.

The third theme is about absence and loss. Its fullest expression is the montage after Carol leaves Therèse and tries to explain herself in a letter. It’s the best example of the use of open intervals such as the fourth, fifth and ninth, to veil sentiment. The hearts of both women are broken, but rather than play the pain the music plays the emptiness.”

More silence. CAROL, at a loss to make the situation better, accelerates quickly onto the highway.

If anyone says the words “Food,” “Dinner,” or “Hungry” at any time and in any context, Refurb makes this face and screams by her dish for ten minutes.
