Abstract

TÁR (2022) portrays a phase in the life of a conductor, Lydia Tár, of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, in her attitude towards the art she masters, as an author; in her profession, as a conductor; in her personal life, as a woman and in her relationship with others. With Lydia Tár imposing herself on a vertical, essentially male structure, those who watch the film are presented by the scriptwriter and director, Todd Field, with a series of aspects that go beyond those of her profession as the leader of an orchestra, where the leadership is also predominantly male. In this critical analysis we will try, with the help of authors such as Judith Butler, to establish a parallel between the reality of this fiction and the reality that the 21st century offers us.
