ICYMI on KPBS Midday Edition: Critics peel back the layers of Cate Blanchett's latest film: 'TÁR.'
With Thanksgiving coming up, here's a film to be thankful for:"TÁR."
Thanksgiving always makes me think of two things: sharing a huge meal with family, and remembering what to be thankful for. So with that in mind, I ask you to consider the recent film"TÁR." This is a meaty, substantial film that will fill you up and give you ideas to chew on. The film centers on conductor Lydia Tár, played by Cate Blanchett. The role was created for her by filmmaker Todd Field and is a showcase for the actress. We meet Tár at the pinnacle of her career and then watch her spiral out of control. Along the way, the film asks us to consider the relationship of an artist to their work, how power and privilege can be dangerous, and look at the role cancel culture plays.
I will admit that not everyone is appreciative of this film. When I exited the press screening, my friend was so angry that she had to spend almost three hours with a character she deemed 'horrible' — she was fuming. We ended up discussing the film in the parking lot for almost a half hour since I could have easily spent another three hours with Blanchett's Tár. But her anger is part of what I appreciated about the film.
He enthusiastically texted me that he was so glad someone was making a film that was so"unapologetically cerebral." Then he added,"This is what cinema should be, and we have so lost our way."
