The film, set in the international world of classical music, centres on Lydia Tár, widely considered one of the greatest living composer/conductors and the first-ever female chief conductor of a major German orchestra. The film follows Tár navigating her daily life, focused on perfecting her latest symphony.
With a jaw-dropping performance from Blanchett, exceptional directorial skills from Field and music by Oscar-winning composer, Hildur Guðnadóttir, TÁR hits all the right beats.
Field’s feature… is a forceful narrative and an astute study of power set within an artistic and cultured realm. – Diana Cheng, Ripple Effects
It’s a phenomenal picture, supported by top-tier crew…– Wendy Ide, Observer UK
