TÁR

"...a really intriguing exploration of the mostly uncharted world of classical music, as "Black Swan" did for ballet and "Whiplash" for jazz." - USA Today Nominated for 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture! 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 charisma and emotional precision of Cate Blanchett are put to astounding use in this deft showcase for the actor’s musical artistry, in the first film in sixteen years from Field ("In the Bedroom", "Little Children").
