With two Academy Award wins and four further nominations, Cate Blanchett has established herself as one of the top actors working today. With awards for The Aviator (2004) and Blue Jasmine (2013), as well as roles in well-known series like The Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones, Blanchett has no plans to stop acting. Blanchett’s most recent film, which he collaborated with Todd Field, director of Little Children (2006), is already receiving high marks from critics. Tár (2022) had its festival debut at the 79th Venice International Film Festival at the beginning of September. The movie received a rousing six-minute standing ovation when it opened the festival.
The enthusiastic response from the audience doesn’t seem to be a case of beginner’s luck either, as the movie has received overwhelmingly favorable reviews. With an astounding 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and an equally great score of 91 on Metacritic, Tár has already established itself as a favorite among review aggregator sites. Tár is ready to make a strong case for an Oscar contender when the awards season picks up with those figures. Despite the glowing reviews, Tár has been primarily unknown before its constrained theatrical release, but don’t be alarmed. We have all the information you could possibly need for the release of Tár in theatres in the coming weeks.
Tár Release date
Tár will get a broader release almost a month after its festival smash, despite having its official première on September 1st at the Venice Film Festival. Beginning on October 7th, 2022, Tár will orchestrate a restricted release. On October 28th, 2022, a more significant release is planned. This October, the only place you can see Cate Blanchett conduct a potential masterpiece is at your neighborhood theatre because Tár will only be released in theatres. There is currently no information available on the planned film’s streaming availability. Still, Peacock appears to be a potential contender, given that Tár is a Focus Features production and Universal Pictures owns both companies.
The cast of Tár
Since Cate Blanchett has delivered legendary performance after legendary performance, the lead in Tár doesn’t need any further introduction. Of course, it’s too soon to say, but a few indications suggest this might be Blanchett’s best performance to date. Field emphasizes how crucial she is to the movie in the following quote,
“Cate Blanchett, an artist, was the script’s intended audience. The movie would not have existed today if she had said no. Amateur and professional moviegoers won’t be shocked by this. She is a magnificent master, after all. Nevertheless, Cate’s superhuman talent and realism were a sight to behold when we were creating the image. She lifted every boat. It is impossible to fully express the honor of working with an artist of this calibre. This movie is entirely Cate’s movie.
Unquestionably deserving of acclaim, Blanchett will be accompanied by a solid supporting ensemble. The remaining cast members include cellist Sophie Kauer in real life, Noémie Merlant (Portrait of a Lady on Fire), Nina Hoss (Phoenix), Mark Strong (1917), and Julian Glover (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade).
The plot of Tár
The following is the official plot summary:
The movie is about Lydia Tár, the first female chief conductor of a significant German orchestra and widely regarded as one of the best living composers and conductors. It is in the global realm of classical music.
Before watching her story in a feature film, the story synopsis presents Lydia Tár as a real-life icon that everyone should be familiar with; yet, Tár is an entirely fictitious scenario. The film will delve deeply into the creative process of artists and celebrities and explore the effects that their dedication to their craft can have on their mental health and psyche, which may be the biggest hint yet that the movie will be somewhat of a commentary on the way we view celebrities and artists.
In the end, a lot of it is speculation because the teaser is so intentionally vague (not that we’re complaining; a trailer that doesn’t reveal the entire movie these days is a breath of fresh air). Even yet, we may assume that Lydia Tár’s persona, like many of history’s greatest artists, will be a rigid perfectionist who struggles to strike a balance between her personal and professional lives.
Trailer
Tár’s initial trailer, to put it mildly, provided very few story elements. The first teaser consists of Lydia Tár, the main character, blowing some mist for one and a half minutes as narration plays, with Tár directing an orchestra at the end.
Although the second trailer gives slightly clearer visuals and presents a more significant portion of the film, the story’s specifics are not apparent. It does, however, have some stunning cinematography by Antlers’ Florian Hoffmeister, the film’s director of photography, which demonstrates Lydia’s journey toward becoming the greatest composer in modern history will be one that is filled with unbelievable visuals and existential dread. The third and final trailer for Tár is unquestionably the longest. It provides the most pleasing look at the plot thus far, as Lydia’s prestigious and well-earned reputation appears to be on the verge of destruction.
