Why Tár Is the Best Film of 2022

- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2023
- Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett) is the world's upmost maestro. EGOT winner and conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, she rules classical music with an iron grip. As she prepares to conduct Mahler's Fifth Symphony, however, some secrets about her possible misuse of power begin to tar (I'm not sorry at all) her public image.
This masterpiece by Todd Field has a quiet and multifaceted screenplay, rich in intelligent literate dialogue and plants and payoffs. Field's directing is also wonderful, framing each shot with as much information and elegance as can be found.
Cate Blanchett gives the best performance I've seen since Daniel Day-Lewis in "There Will Be Blood" (which carries many similarities to "Tár") and fully becomes her character through detailed body language.
If you ask me, this is the film that should triumph on Oscar night. Unlikely, but Cate deserves it!
And, of course, much is talked about this films use (or not) of cancel culture. Does it even talk about it? Let's find out.

As a connoisseur of the discreet, this film really flipped my skirt. Glad you liked it, too. The revelation in her childhood home was expected but worse than the ending of 'Freaks'.
TÁR is easily the best film of the entire decade so far, maybe of the past 5 years even. No other comes close for me
I like how a film with music as a huge theme, it was filled with eerie silence
Just saw it last week and it still haunts me, like tar herself was haunted. Obviously, incredibly well acted - Nina Hoss continues to get overlooked for her work. Costume and cinematography are exquisite. And the direction is out of this world. The reframing in the 10 min lecture scene was some of the very best I've seen in quite some time. I've debated putting this movie in the upper echelon of my favorites to have come out since the turn of the century.
Because of you I had to watch it and Oh My... This movie is simply brillant!
Your analysis of this film is terrific! Subscribed.
I'm on the left, but I was totally on Tar's side in the debate with the identitarian student. You say you'd like to have seen his position put more intelligently. Depressingly, it seems it was good enough for practically ever other reviewer I've been able to find on RUclips, all of whom, came down on his side.
Cate Blanchett 👏 ❤️ 👏
I wonder if she can win Best Actress, given that she made that speech dumping on awards ceremonies.
I wish people didn’t care about such things but it might at least make the race more exciting
That's what cost her an Oscar despite being the best performance of 2022, either way, Blanchett's Tar is for the books. Something can't be said for Michelle Yeoh
Awesome ❤
I completely agree!
oh, my stars and garters, someone actually defined 'cancel culture' in an intelligent insightful way!💯❤
when tar is talking to the audio engineers they are sitting in front of a lighting desk
Well that one piece of music in the end was from The Duellists.
Again, listening to your take twice. I personally felt the road traveled contrived and oddly uncertain. That said, the final final scene guarantees Tar's fall from grace.😢
Well if you're recommending it then it must be worth watching! I'll watch it soon and then come back for your review. 😅
See you soon!
This is the best youtuber in the history of RUclips!!!!!!
5:22 Best moment of the video LOL
Would you compare Tàr to Maestro? Looking forward to know your honest thoughts about Maestro.
It was robbed at oscars
OK, I've been hesitating about watching this film for some reason. But if you're going to talk about it, and that contains spoilers, then I'm stopping the video, going to the Red Box and getting the film, watching it and then will (hopefully) have something intelligent and insightful to say. Then again, I can just echo your words, and sound both intelligent and insightful, which is actually much easier.
❤
I don't get it, is it a ghost movie?
It's a ponderous, over-long, soporific film about a bunch of lesbians destroying each other; however, Tar (as in asphalt) seems to be haunted,by her guilt over the suicide of one of her lovers. Think Macbeth after Banquo's murder although on far crasser level.
Liked your explanation. But I don't think it's explicitly clear that she does sexual favours or groom the girls. That's what we make of it, it looks like a definite possibility but that's the beauty of this film, nothing clearly laid out for us to make definite statements.
I feel like the ambiguity of what exactly happens enhances Todd Field's criticism of cancel culture through this film. Did she deserve to have everything taken from her or did she not? That's for us to decide, which makes the film even more beautiful.
@@Krampuskis Field even criticising cancel culture, or should that speech just be seen as the utterance of an unreliable protagonist? Ironically, cancel culture is sometimes typified by the conflation of a character’s actions and views with those of the author, so it would be somewhat ironic to make the mistake of taking that approach here.
Despite the film’s ambiguity, there’s little doubt that she is evidently guilty of the same vanity and narcissism that she berates the Julliard student for, and that her punishment does strip her of the affectations she says that an artist needs to shed.
The video maker here says that her punishment is a fate worse than death, but is it? She has - arguably - been liberated by her change of circumstance.
Blanchett’s performance in the final scenes is a masterclass in inscrutability.
I agree that it's unclear and it seemed to me that great pains had been taken to ensure the ambiguity and, in fact, delineate philosophical undecidability around matters of power and control. And, yes, that was partly to critique cancel culture.
Oh look. A woman in a position of power abusing it for her own ohlala purposes. And here I was thinking whamen were all immaculate, brave and not capable of being evil or abusive.
the point of that SJW conversation was that Tar wants to believe that her personal life does not impact her professional life. That is the deeper philosophical conflict. Is the SJW correct that it has at least some bearing on your professional life? I think so. But his (their?) argument is straw man on purpose.
I really hated this movie. In the first interview, Tar makes it clear that she isn't a trailblazer. So why should I care about her? As her toxic personality is unveiled, I care even less. In the end I was trying to ward off sleep hoping for something worthwhile to justify the nearly 3 hours I invested in the movie. Only to be disappointed. Cate Blanchett is good in the role but good acting cannot save bad writing, directing, or editing. 2/10.
yes i thought this was a great movie - a tragedy in the classic sense of an otherwise heroic character ruined by a fatal flaw
Bór is what a reviewer on imdb called this and it's right.
Still remember this film?
Lmaoooo
Cate Blanchett did her best with the role for sure, but the movie itself felt really pointless with a plot that's going pretty much nowhere. Perhaps it was the irony somehow, with "music makes us feel something we can't explain with words" and this movie makes you just feel wasting your life waiting for some kind of catharthic finale that never happened.
So many questions:
What's that child is doing in the movie? Is she a mirror of our protagonist? How? Is she a metaphor on... what exactly?
What's the assistant's role in the movie? Just a plot device to move it further?
Did she just fell or some guy actually assaulted her? And what changes if so? The result is still the same.
If she was imagining stuff, how does this affect the plot really? If she did, she ended up ruining her career, if she didn't she still ruined her career regardles, right?
What's up with that Russian girl? Did she act to get a position or did she honestly liked her maestro and later just turned away? Any tip about this at least?
Can Cate Blanchett be any more good? This movie clearly doesn't deserve her talent.
Can Moviewise be any more good at making intellectual jokes in his videos? Youtude clearly doesn't deserve his talent.
Also, literaly not a single actual man in a movie that tries to tackle gender issues should be a sign of a failure already. We got an old ex-musician grandpa, a balding incompetent ex husband or something I guess, braindead something-sexual student and feels like that was it. I guess movie shows us how Tar is lost without a man in her life then? Doubt that was the intention.
Sorry for my English in advance I'm not native
Am definitely NOT a fan of Miss Blanchett. There is just something about her that irks me and puts me off anything she is in.
Tar bore me to death. Hated it. I disagree with your take.
Nah… film was completely a snooze fest… Cate blanchett is a great actress but others nominated in this category such as the Oscar’s, golden globe, etc have far demonstrated a better performances….. if awards are garnered then its “friends voting for friends”” prove me wrong?!?!?!?!?
The movie was boring and over acted.
It’s a movie that critiques cancel culture, so of course everyone has to find it so clever and pretend like it’s so profound.
Talk about pushing a narrative..
The film is a snoozefest
