... still a totally disordered mix

Tár

2024-10-09 — Michael Haupt

It's been a while since this was on the big screen. I still want to recommend the movie Tár. A masterpiece - I was completely captivated.

What helped make this happen was not just Cate Blanchett’s impeccable acting, but also that the story unfolds in a setting I’m at least a bit familiar with. I found the dialogues about music to be at a rather elevated level of nerdiness that I greatly enjoyed. Similarly, the depiction of how sheer power plays out in the highest spheres of cultural business struck some cords ... I’ve had my own introspections into that.

This is an absolutely fantastic movie.
