Todd Field's 'Tár' is complicated and difficult. Much like its protagonist, says film critic Sean Burns:
The conductor sets the tempo and controls the time. That’s what we’re told by Lydia Tár, a classical music prodigy portrayed by Cate Blanchett in writer-director Todd Field’s biting portrait of an egomaniac in decline. We meet the maestra at what might be her zenith, during a fawning onstage Lincoln Center Q&A hosted by The New Yorker’s Adam Gopnik.
The great film critic Dave Kehr says you spend the first half of your career trying to tear down the canon and the second half defending it. I’ll confess to being exhausted by people in my profession eager to dismiss art from earlier, less enlightened eras for reasons that sound suspiciously like they don’t want to do their homework, so the first part of Lydia’s lecture had me wishing I could stand up and pump my fist while waving a cigarette lighter like I was at a rock concert.
Nina Hoss stars as Sharin Goodnow and Cate Blanchett stars as Lydia Tár in director Todd Field's "Tár."
