Tár examines the changing nature of power and its impact and durability in our modern world through the life of iconic musician Lydia Tár, the first-ever female chief conductor of a major German orchestra.

« The genius of Todd Field’s superb Tár comes from the way the film-making echoes the treacherously seductive and mercurial nature of its central character. It’s a phenomenal picture, supported by top-tier crew, from the costumes (Tár’s tailored suits are a kind of intellectual armour) to the lithe camerawork, which captures symphonies of discomfort in the musicians, with a flutter of uncertainty that spreads through the orchestra like a scurrilous rumour. » (The Observer)

« It’s a total knockout, both austere and dryly hilarious, and its quality is impossible to consider separately from its colossal lead performance. » (New York Magazine)

« Cela faisait bien longtemps qu’un film, un vrai film d’auteur, n’avait pas autant passionné le public, qu’un personnage fictif n’avait pas suscité autant d’engouement et de commentaires. » (Le Monde)
