TÁR (2022) 🎼

 

This seems to be the result of what “cancel culture” could do.

   We join Lydia Tár (played by Cate Blanchett) a month before accomplishing one of her biggest goals in life: performing Mahler’s fifth. From the very beginning, they show us how great Lydia is, she won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. Making her a legitime member of the EGOT club. She’s also the acclaimed conductor of a major orchestra in Germany. She even speaks other languages, like come on, she is the moment.

Lydia Tár

   On stage, she’s like God: controls the tempo, and the people, and decides the melody's tone and direction. Her wife Sharon and her daughter Petra are significant parts of Lydia’s life, both bring emotional support and understanding to her music career. Once again, Lydia has it all. What could go wrong at this point?

The way she conducts herself shows how genius she is

   I know I said it before; she is the closest to perfection and quality, but her life is just broken down in an unexpected turn. As viewers, it’s hard to affirm she’s not an evil person through and through, however, her actions tell otherwise. There will be conflicting opinions regarding the responsibility of those involved and its effect on their professional career and also in the family environment. You will have to be the ones to judge TÁR's sins (or not)

   Somehow, the film slightly winks at ghost stories. The details, the devil is in the details, LITERALLY.  Field (the director) builds an unusual story in Tár, showing us the inevitable fall of an idol in an unpredictable way and far from any convention. I assure you there is a lot to talk about, in fact, there is. But I don’t want to contribute to spoilers, I’d rather want you all to judge by yourself. Did she deserve this?

The genius's fall from grace once corrupted by power

Rate: 4/5

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was rooting for this movie to win Best Picture and Cate Blanchett to win Best Actress, I'm happy for "Everything everywhere all at once" for having won Best Picture though
