From writer-producer-director Todd Field comes TÁR, starring Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tár, the groundbreaking conductor of a major German Orchestra. We meet Tár at the height of her career, as she's preparing both a book launch and much-anticipated live performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Over the ensuing weeks her life begins to unravel in a singularly modern way. The result is a searing examination of power, and its impact and durability in today's society.
I took KeithR's advice and watched this film last night. First off it dragged slowly through the story which ran about 2 1/2 hours but nonetheless it was a very interesting story which drew us in. The film itself should be nominated for Best Film however I just don't think it will win . BUT, the big news of this film was Cate Blanchett in the starring role which was flawless from start to finish. IMHO I have yet to see a better performance this year by an actress in a lead performance.
So Im locked in on Brendan Fraser as Best Actor in The Whale and Cate Blanchett as Best Actress for this year's Academy awards
