MOVIE NEWS – The Australian actress got the biggest role of her life in the film called TÁR: those who admire the production and Blanchett‘s portrayal in it agree with this, as well as those who they argue with the provocative story on several points. The actress plays a tyrannical conductor who is facing the biggest opportunity of his career, but fails because he blindly piles up mistake after mistake in the immediate vicinity of the peak.

Blanchett immediately absorbed the role and, as she says, moved into her dreams. The character of the conductor was specifically written for him by screenwriter-director Todd Field (who was nominated for three Oscars® for the film as producer, screenwriter and director).

When asked by The Observer what captured her so much in the script, the Oscar®-nominated actress for the film replied: “One of the most dangerous and alarming things about the film is that it doesn’t ask for sympathy or offer solutions. No one is completely good and no one is completely innocent. The story is a very accurate examination of how institutional power corrupts the soul, but this film is also very human, because it is centered on someone who is going through an existential crisis.”

TÁR has so far won 57 awards and received 228 nominations, many of its admirers consider it one of the greatest masterpieces of recent years. The critics, on the other hand, accuse him of deliberately portraying the heroine as a power-hungry and tyrannical character, of which there are very few men. Lydia Tár is happy to manipulate and it can be guessed that she sexually exploits the young women who admire her.

When The Observer’s Sean O’Hagen asked her what she thought of the attacks on the film, the actress elegantly replied that she didn’t want to definitively classify TÁR because it was like a Rorschach test. : everyone sees what they know and what they want. Blanchett, however, expects that TÁR will be a really big success in Europe, where the auteur film has a deeper-rooted tradition than overseas.
