A trailer has arrived for Cate Blanchett’s newest awards contender. The seven-time Oscar nominee and two-time winner toplines “Tár,” the story of a trailblazing conductor who seems to be on the verge of a breakdown. “Lydia Tár is many things,” we’re informed in the spot. One of solely fifteen EGOT winners, the revered maestro has written music for the stage and the display, reaching worldwide fame. Inwardly, although, she’s crumbling.
When we’re launched to Lydia, she’s struggling to write down and to exist in the world — she’s fixating on noise, haunted by odd, on a regular basis appears like footsteps and knocks on doorways. “She’s starting to disappear into herself,” we’re warned. Cue an impassioned speech by Lydia about the necessity to “sublimate yourself, your ego, and yes, your identity” to “stand in front of the public and God and obliterate yourself.”
Blanchett gained Oscars for “Blue Jasmine” and “The Aviator.” “Don’t Look Up” and “Nightmare Alley” are amongst her most up-to-date credit.
“Tár” hits choose theaters October 7 and expands nationwide October 28.
