“Todd Field’s screenplay raises monumental, dangerous questions that the world is dealing with as of this moment,” Cate Blanchett said at the New York premiere of ‘Tár.’
Fresh off of winning the best-actress prize at the Venice Film Festival last month for playing a fictional world-renowned conductor and composer in the psychological dramasays her latest movie felt the most “urgent” to make in her storied career. The film, written and directed byexplores contemporary themes that have made headlines in recent years, including the #MeToo scandal, the abuse of power, and cancel culture.
Blanchett stars as Lydia Tár, the first woman conductor at the helm of the Berlin Philharmonic, the major German orchestra that is considered to be the world’s greatest. Her great talent on the orchestra podium and her keen musical scoring have earned her EGOT status, among other accolades, and made her a master class guest lecturer at Juilliard, with a memoir on the way. She is at the pinnacle of her career and wields great cultural power.
“It’s taken me a long time to deal with fame. I come from the theater. I never expected to have a film career,” said Blanchett. “It’s uncomfortable to be looked at. It really is. But it’s such a privilege and a pleasure to have had all the opportunities I’ve had in my career.”
