Rooney Mara & Cate Blanchett Will Bump Bagels In New Film

Carol, the new film from director Todd Haynes (Velvet Goldmine, Safe), made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend, and is garnering a ton of buzz. While most of that buzz is centered around awards and such, it's generating a ton of buzz in my pants due to news that stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara shot a steamy lesbian scene.

According to Variety (link below), a press conference held after the screening found both actors talking about the challenges of making the film, especially their sex scene.

Blanchett prepared for the role by reading erotic fiction from the time period, but added that Carol wouldn’t necessarily identify as a lesbian. “Her sexuality is a private affair,” she said.

The actresses said they weren’t shy about pushing the envelope with the film’s steamy love scene. “I’m nude quite often, so it wasn’t a big deal for me,” Mara said. And Blanchett noted that “a lot of strangers” saw her naked when she gave birth. “It’s an important scene,” Blanchett said.

Blanchett's character apparently also has an affair with real life lesbian Sarah Paulson's character, though that may occur before the events of the film. I'm not sure because no one's talking about it. It's as if that doesn't matter to these "critics" with their "high minded questions." Just ask about the bagel bumping already, fellas. Get to the shit people really care about. 

On a related note, Salma Hayek and her breasts attended the Cannes premiere as well! Here she is listening intently to her husband Jacques Clouseau explain the theory of relativity...
