In the film’s new trailer, we learn more about the towering industry status of Blanchett’s character, who is “one of only 15 EGOTs, meaning those who have won all four major entertainment awards”, and get a glimpse into her family life with her partner and daughter.

However, things take an ominous turn when Tár admits she is struggling to focus on writing as she “keep[s] hearing something”, and another character mentions they’ve been receiving “weird emails”, prompting the composer to tell her: “There’s no reason to get caught up in any intrigue.”

Other big names including Mark Strong, Julian Glover and Nina Hoss will also star in the feature, which is Oscar-winning director Field’s first film in 16 years. Fittingly, the music comes courtesy of Hildur Guðnadóttir, the Icelandic composer who won an Oscar for her original score for Joker in 2020.
