Todd Field is back in the directorial chair after 16 years with his new film, TÁR, starring Cate Blanchett as the first-ever female music director of a major German orchestra. With Lydia Tár at the center of this monumental effort, we review the themes of cancel culture and separating the art from the artist presented in the film as well as its Oscar potential. In the news, we discuss the recent announcement of the Gotham Award Nominations and make our first predictions for three Oscar’s categories: Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Original Score.
