From writer-producer-director Todd Field comes “TÁR”, starring two-time Academy Award-winner 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.
Tár is days away from recording the symphony that will elevate her career. When all elements seem to conspire against her, Lydia's adopted daughter Petra becomes an integral emotional support for her struggling mother.
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.
