It's easy to see why this one is a cult classic. It's a stylish tale of forbidden love, dawning self awareness and bucking conventions. Carol meets Therese at a department store and a spark is ignited. Before long, the two are nearly inseparable companions, although their communities are unaware of their growing relationship. Then there is a road trip and some reckoning.
