What is Tar about?
Tar follows Lydia Tár, an American pianist, ethnomusicologist, composer, and conductor who becomes the first female chief conductor at a major orchestra. The film plunges into deep psychological trauma stemming from the artistic process and unshakable dedication. Not only did the critics love the film, but it also appealed to the festival judges. In Venice, Cate Blanchett won the Volpi Cup for best actress for her lead role and appears well on her way to another Academy Award win. The film was subsequently presented with six Oscar nominations.
