Thanks for a good piece, Yonatan. I saw Tar when it came out and was incredibly disappointed, mostly because it purports to be about classical music and artistic creation and yet manages to be completely devoid of any joy in these fundamentally life-affirming things. Mahler is sublime, and it would have been so easy to project some of the beauty of his music and the delight of creating and experiencing it. Yet the film's soul was barren.
I haven't seen this movie but I'd certainly value your thoughts on others.
