TÁR
(d. Todd Field, USA 2022, 158 min., 12+, in English with Czech subtitles)
This year’s Variations offers an exceptional opportunity to see one of the
most distinctive films from this year’s Venice Film Festival. Tár will
undoubtedly be one of the most frequently mentioned favorites for next
year’s Oscars, primarily thanks to an excellent performance by Cate
Blanchett. Her Lydia Tár is a renowned and feared celebrity among conductors in
this masterful drama with elements of a thriller set in the rarefied world of
contemporary classical music. The film is a gripping tale of obsession,
phenomenal talent, the breathtaking power of music, power games, and the
sometimes confusing complexity of the time we live in, swinging back and forth
between freedom of expression and cancel culture. More than a few reviews have
called Field’s film, which takes place in New York and Berlin, as a work of
genius.
Todd Field (1964)
Field was born in Pomona, California, but grew up in Oregon, where he
established himself as a jazz trombonist while still a teenager. After studying
at Southern Oregon State College in Ashland for just a year, he left for New
York, where he began to study acting. He was later cast in films by Woody Allen
(Radio Days) and Stanley Kubrick (Eyes Wide Shut), among others. But Field was
drawn to directing, and after a series of short films he shone with the
feature-length drama In the Bedroom (2001), one of the most successful debuts of
the past several decades (among other things, it received five Oscar
nominations). Five years later, he followed up with the no less well-received
relationship drama Little Children (three Oscar nominations, including a Best
Actress nomination for Kate Winslet). Fans of Field’s work have had to wait a
whole sixteen years for Tár, the latest sophisticated and unassumingly original
film in which he managed to get stunning performances from his actors.
