The future of mechanics
Watching the Juilliard School scene creates the illusion that you are actually witnessing Lydia's master class. Since I moved to Berlin, the cloudy skies have made me feel like I'm trapped in gray concrete. ``Tár'' is a reproduction of a shot from Chantal Akerman's travel film `` Anna Encounters '' (1978), but the camerawork itself is reminiscent of Lydia's journey with Lydia, and the fact that they are in the same space. There is a sense of immersion that makes you feel as if you are watching the movie.
However, this film does not try to make us sympathize with Lydia, who abuses her power, as a sad Monster, nor does it try to make us hate her. Lydia's power is also extremely fragile. Lydia, who was skilled at directing and editing her own image, was attacked by the audience who enjoyed it.

I suddenly realized that there is another invisible dynamic that is occurring outside of the confusion on the part of the recipient, and outside of the accusations against the artist, as to whether or not great art should be considered separately from the life of the creator. . Todd Field neither empathizes with Lydia nor pushes her too far. I just capture the movement of that dangerous dynamic.
This challenging film will keep you on the edge of your seat even after watching the movie. The more he is drawn to Lydia-Cate Blanchett's charismatic demeanor, the more complicated things become. What are you seeing and what are you not seeing? The film's team, including Todd Field and Cate Blanchett, takes risks to shake up audiences living in this era.
