Synopsis
Set in the international world of classical music, Academy Award-nominated director Todd Field returns with TÁR: a portrait of Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett). A world-renowned composer and conductor at the height of her career, her personal and professional life is suddenly disrupted by a series of inflammatory incidents – and Tár’s reputation for perfection means she cannot afford to make mistakes.
Dynamics of power, ego and artistry all come into play, all the while Tár is mere days away from recording a symphony that will define her work.
