Oscar winner Blanchett portrays a wealthy married woman who
falls in love with an ambitious New York shopgirl, played by
Mara, in the movie which won high critical praise when it
screened at the May Cannes Film Festival.
Asked whether the pressure was off in London given the film's
existing critical acclaim, Blanchett said: "It creates a sense
of expectation, the more outings it has the more you know
expectations people come with it, and so you just want people to
receive the film for what it is."
"It's a labor of love for everyone involved and I think it's a
very, very beautiful, hopefully touching film."
Blanchett is to be honored with the British Film Institute
Fellowship at the festival, which ends on Sunday.
