Cate Blanchett pushed back on a real-life conductor’s criticism of 'Tár' after the musician slammed the movie as “anti-woman” for its depiction of an abusive female conductor: “It’s a meditation on power and power is genderless.'
Two-time Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett pushed back on a real-life conductor’s criticism of her portrayal of the profession—after the musician, Tár, as “anti-woman” for its depiction of an abusive female conductor. “It’s a meditation on power and power is genderless,” the Australian actor told BBC Radio 4 on Thursday, responding to a statement by Marin Alsop.
“It is a meditation on power and the corrupting nature of power and I think that that doesn’t necessarily happen only in cultural circles.” Alsop, who is briefly name-dropped in the movie, said earlier this week that“offended” her “as a woman… as a conductor… as a lesbian.” Blanchett said that Alsop, who she had the “utmost respect” for, was “entitled to her opinion,” but thatwas “not a film about conducting,” and that she had drawn on many different sources to create the “non-literal” story.
