London Film Critics: “Tár” won three major awards, with Todd Field named Director of the Year and Cate Blanchett Actress of the Year.
Blanchett has won this award previously, in 1998 for Elizabeth and in 2013 for Blue Jasmine.
“‘Tár’ is about female experience, but it’s also beyond female experience. It’s really, really complicated and you’ve made room for that complication,” Blanchett said during her acceptance speech. “Personally, it was the most freewheeling, free form, free flowing, exhilarating, challenging and creatively dangerous film set that I’ve ever been on. And it was full of ambiguity and the stuff that we as a species, find so hard to unpack and discuss and pin down, not only the stuff inside the systems that we work within, but inside ourselves.”
