A real life conductor referenced in Cate Blanchett's film 'Tár' blasts the film as 'anti-woman' because the main character is portrayed as an 'abuser.'
A conductor who was referenced in the"I first read about it in late August, and I was shocked that that was the first I was hearing of it," Marin Alsop said of the film in an interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times newspaper."So many superficial aspects of ‘Tár’ seemed to align with my own personal life. But once I saw it I was no longer concerned, I was offended: I was offended as a woman, I was offended as a conductor, I was offended as a lesbian.
"There are so many men — actual, documented men — this film could have been based on but, instead, it puts a woman in the role but gives her all the attributes of those men," she said."That feels antiwoman. To assume that women will either behave identically to men or become hysterical, crazy, insane is to perpetuate something we’ve already seen on film so many times before.
"In all our conversations, we talked about this examination of power — how we look at power and how we decide the way we look at it," he added."If you really want to talk about power and the long reach of history — the abuse and complicity of power, how it corrupts, all these clichés we’ve grown up with — you have to reckon with the idea that there is no black or white. To find the truth of something requires a little more rigor.
