Description

Writer and actor Dan Chamberlain (The Tonight Show) joins to discuss Todd Field's drama TÁR starring Cate Blanchett, Noémie Merlant, and Nina Hoss. TÁR was released in 2022 to near unanimous acclaim for Blanchett's  lead performance as Lydia Tár, a highly accomplished composer-conductor whose regimented existence begins to unravel in the face of personal scandal. Is this slow-tempo tale fable of the MeToo era Field's crowning opus, or does the film hit too many flat notes? On this, the last MNAM episode of 2022, we face the music about TÁR with extended diversions into nepo babies, movie musicals, NPR, Great Expectations, Arthur Schopenhauer, That Thing You Do!, Aaron Sorkin, German sex clubs, and much much more!

TÁR is now available to stream with subscription to Prime Video.
