The Frame

The director says his biopic is a father-daughter story that reflects on screenwriter Aaron Sorkin as well as Boyle. He says it's important to tell stories about men like Jobs who now have more power than governments and who are humanized by the women in their lives.

Rooney Mara is 30 and has only been in a handful of films, but she's worked with some top directors, including Spike Jonze, Steven Soderbergh and now Todd Haynes for "Carol."

The filmmaker's film, set in the 1950s, stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara and is based on the Patricia Highsmith novel. Haynes talks about why he makes movies about women, how the gay rights movements impacted his creativity, and how he left his hometown of L.A. to come into his own as a filmmaker.
