TÁR

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.

“The expansive supporting ensemble is all great and they all get their solo moments, but throughout the entirety of TÁR, there’s never any doubt Cate Blanchett is the one holding the baton and everyone else is facing her, awaiting their cues.” — Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
