“TÁR” consumes us with a complex character and then abandons us in a darkened theater to contemplate what it all means. That is so refreshing at a time when too many films want to deliver a clear message.
Filmmaker Todd Field has stated that he wrote “
That is why I love Todd Field’s “TÁR” in which Cate Blanchett plays an arrogant but breathtakingly talented conductor named Lydia Tár.The film opens with Tár at the pinnacle of her career. It daringly opens with a lengthy on stage interview where Adam Gopnik reads a lengthy introduction dripping with praise before beginning his interview with Tár. Daring because it’s all dialogue — a dense, meaty discussion of Tár’s life and work.
All this is to place Tár at the highest point from which she can fall and the rest of the film is us watching her life unravel.
