Nominated for 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actress in a Leading Role (Cate Blanchet)
From writer-producer-director Todd Field comes TÁR, starring Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tár, the groundbreaking conductor of a major German Orchestra. We meet Tár at the height of her career, as she's preparing both a book launch and much-anticipated live performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Over the ensuing weeks her life begins to unravel in a singularly modern way. The result is a searing examination of power, and its impact and durability in today's society.
"Field’s story leaves us with mysteries to uncover. Blanchett’s performance is marvelous because she conveys a fiery, arrogant confidence in one minute and a contemplative sense of dread the next." - Substream Magazine
"TÁR wants us to consider the costs of greatness, for the artist determined to achieve it and those who suffer under that determination. What’s permissible? What’s off-limits? Field isn’t interested in easy answers." - Filmspotting
"Features what can only be called career-best work from Cate Blanchett, in the title role. This is a fantastic film, one operating at an elite storytelling level." - Tilt Magazine
