A new trailer for Cate Blanchett’s upcoming film Tár has been released and it sheds some new light on the movie. This looks like it’s going to be a lot more insane than I was expecting. It looks like the story is going to descend into some kind of madness.
While we still don’t have any detailed story information, we do know that Blanchett plays a fictional character named Lydia Tár, “an acclaimed composer who rose to become the first female chief conductor of a German orchestra.” It looks like maybe her character has some kind of psychotic break.
The movie was directed by Todd Field (Little Children, In the Bedroom) and he recently talked about the movie, saying that it was only created for Blanchett. He wouldn’t have cast anyone else in the role:
“This script was written for one artist, Cate Blanchett. Had she said no, the film would have never seen the light of day. Filmgoers, amateur and otherwise, will not be surprised by this. After all, she is a master supreme. Even so, while we were making the picture, the superhuman-skill and verisimilitude of Cate was something truly astounding to behold. She raised all boats. The privilege of collaborating with an artist of this caliber is something impossible to adequately describe. In every possible way this is Cate’s film.”
The movie is set to be released in theaters on October 7th.
