Since Todd Field’s newest masterwork, “TÁR,” had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in early September, the filmmaker and his stars have shared a common message during interviews: It’s cinema’s job to pose difficult questions, but it’s the audience’s responsibility to answer them. The questions asked in “TÁR” — sprinkled through its nearly three-hour runtime — center on power dynamics, cancel culture and complicity.
As Lydia overplays her hand, and her personal life and professional success progressively implode, the film does an impressive job of withholding judgment and instead poses a series of questions to the viewer, beginning with: When does power use become power abuse? “It’s an examination of the corruptive nature of power in all its forms, but it’s also about so many other things,” she said. “It’s rare to see a film that has genuinely big questions. And it respects the audience enough to ask them.”
Kauer, a professional cellist making her first on-screen appearance, told NBC News that Field “asks a lot of questions that people are too afraid to ask.” And while “TÁR” is set in the world of classical music, it “could be set in any industry,” she added.
