Cate Blanchett plays a world-famous conductor in the trailer for TÁR. TÁR is written and directed by Todd Field. It's his first film in 16 years, with his last being 2006's Little Children starring Kate Winslet. Blanchett stars as the titular Lydia Tár, the first ever female chief conductor of a major German orchestra, who is considered one of the greatest living composers. The award-winning actress shares the screen with Mark Strong, Nina Hoss, Julian Glover, and more.
Focus Features shared the trailer on YouTube, with the video spotlighting the ethereal nature of TÁR. The film is set within the international world of classical music and explores the creative process in unique ways, with imagery that looks like visual poetry. While the trailer offers glimpses at the story, with characters seen in heated arguments, embracing, and playing music, it relies on a barrage of intense images, enticing arthouse enthusiasts with the tease of a film that may play with the expectations of a traditional narrative. Check out the trailer for TÁR below:
Field looks to bring a reflective film to audiences, likely exploring many of the creative ideas he has been working through over his 16-year absence. TÁR is also 158 minutes long, taking time to deliver the story and experience for which the unique drama was intended. Blanchett also looks to give a captivating performance, possibly eyeing another Academy Award, having multiple wins and nominations on her résumé already. TÁR debuts on October 7.
