Don't be so eager to be offended. The narcissism of small differences leads to the most boring kind of conformity.

Everybody's Lieblingdirigentin Marin Alsop beklagt nicht zu unrecht an Tàr, nun gäbe es endlich mal einen Film über eine lesbische Dirigentin, und dann missbraucht sie ihre Macht. Als Lanze für die Akzeptanz von Frauen im Konzertbetrieb ist es aufgrund mangelnder Sympathiewerte für die Titelheldin tatsächlich nicht wirklich ideal, so kommt der gute alte Maestro hier jetzt halt wieder besser weg. Aber es ist natürlich ein aufregender und überraschender Film, und einmal mehr eine ganz fabelhafte Cate-Blanchett-Darbietung, obwohl sie mir so richtig toll nicht zu dirigieren scheint, aber das liegt, wie da schon angedeutet, möglichweise auch wieder am alten Maestro hier.

Tár (2022)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Tár has a few very brief scenes of driving through a tunnel, where the lights being driven by may create a very mild strobe effect.

There are a few moments of very mild handheld camera work, and very smooth motion during scenes taking place in or following vehicles. All of the camera work in this film is either stationary or very smooth.

Flashing Lights: 2/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: A character dies by suicide, which we only hear about after the fact. A person deliberately drives dangerously with their significant other in the car, which is a form of abuse. A realistic scene depicting an elderly person who has fallen and couldn’t make it to the toilet may be upsetting. A woman vomits on-screen after exiting a spa facility.

NOTE: This is the 900th feature film evaluated by Movie Health Community. We are getting close to that landmark number 1,000, and we are looking for suggestions for a special-occasion movie to evaluate when we get to that point!

A Ghost Story for Christmas: Count Magnus (2022)

"The, um, the mausoleum - the Count's tomb - might I crave a..."

"Yes?"

"A visit? It would be so helpful for my researches."

"Certainly. It is in the care of the church in the next village. I shall have a word with the deacon."

"Ah, now that must have been him I saw earlier."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Well, I saw someone. Standing on the steps, locking, or unlocking I suppose, the door. That must have been your deacon."

"Yes. It must have been."

Gatiss once again nests the story with a seemingly unknown narrator and pulls a few tricks here and there (including putting the #biggest and most shameless jumpscare not at the end of the play but right in the middle: i fair leaped out of my seat) #Watkins embodies the classic James protagonist; not a bad man nor a fool‚ but simply one given too freely to curiosity without due care #the style of this new run of plays is suitably painterly and richly drawn but if i had to make a criticism (or better stated‚ a comparison) #it's simply that they lack the original run's satisfaction in being simply very quiet and very still and letting the horror bleed out #regardless; Gatiss is too fond of eerie musical stings and floating camera work to allow the story to simply hang in the air for a moment #and breathe a chilly breath (something Clark was a master at). regardless this is excellent festive spookery and one of the xmas highlights

Re-reading, or rather re-listening-to, Pathfinder. I must say it's difficult to get used to the new narrator Nicola Barber. Maybe it's just because I'm used to hearing him, but it feels like Doyle understood the character he was voicing in a way that Barber doesn't.

I do get why they changed narrator, the TodHunter Moon trilogy has a female lead, and is mostly written from her perspective, it makes sense to have woman narrate it, but something about Barber's narration in particular just seems off.

For one thing, I'm not sure why she gave all the Pathfinder's Scottish accents, it kind of works, but it isn't quite what I imagined.

Like with Doyle before her, she forgets that the Castle is meant to be in Cornwall, and voices every Castle inhabitant in BBC English. It seems that only Corduner got that memo

A far worse accent-based offense is what she does to Snorri's voice, it seems like all she did before coming up with the voice is find out that she's a Northern Trader, figured that Northern referred to the north of England, and turned everyone's favourite Viking-coded trader into someone from Lancashire.

Also, she makes all of the Heap boys sound the same, which is kind of awkward when there are multiple of them in the same room.

She isn't all bad though

Beetle seem to finally have shifted the sore-throat he's had since Flyte.

Marcia has calmed down a bit

Dandra Draa's voice no longer sounds slightly racist, which is good as Dandra has a far bigger role in this series

These are just my thoughts on the new narration, and - for all my criticism of her - I do appreciate that Barber's narration is still very good, and far better than anything I could do. Does anyone else who listens to the audiobooks have any thoughts?

I keep thinking about the opening. Is it done on purpose? To establish the self-importance of Lydia Tar? To lampshade the dryness of the setting?

I like that the movie took swings at hypocrisy of the SJW crowd.

And that ending. Came out of nowhere for me. I like it. It’s an arc of Lydia going high to low. In a way, she earns respect for being tenacious and adaptable.

Tár is a 2022 drama film directed, written, and produced by Todd Field, starring  Cate Blanchett, with Noémie Merlant, Nina Hoss, Sophie Kauer, Julian Glover, Allan Corduner, and Mark Strong.

Tár    [trailer]

Set in the international world of Western classical music, the film centers on Lydia Tár, widely considered one of the greatest living composer-conductors and the very first female director of a major German orchestra.

A really interesting character study. I like that you really can't tell if the story of Lydia is fictional or biographical. She's such an believable character. Not really likable, but still very fascinating. And it's easy to imagine that such toxic power structures do exist within large orchestras. Though I didn't find it entirely plausible that Lydia would pursue Olga.

Cate Blanchett plays her very convincingly. One of those movies where you get the feeling a role was custom-made for a specific actor.

I think it's a great plus that Lydia is fictional, and not based on a specific perseon or event. Otherwise there would be the usual distracting debate if the portrayal does said person justice or not.

Topsy-Turvy (1999)

My rating: 7/10

Bunch of people being catty and British and getting up to Shenanigans, interspersed with some really nice musical numbers. Not a bad way of spending 3 hours.
