Cate Blanchett Shares her Feelings onTár
TheBlue Jasminestar shares her feelings on playing a strong, talented lesbian character. The star shared that rather than focusing on the sexuality of the character the story revolves around power and strength, presuming the generalization of homosexuality.
“The characters are so nuanced. We had a lot of time to discuss their backstory in great detail and to make that manifest in what they did. What I love about the story that Todd wrote and the way he directed it and the way we approached it is their same-sex relationship just was. It’s not the subject matter of the film, nor are the characters’ genders. It’s a meditation on power, but of course, the landscape has changed enormously since we made ‘Carol.’ When we made ‘Carol,’ there were so few films that were moving over into the mainstream that dealt with same-sex relationships, and also picking it apart so it’s not a monolithic experience. I think ‘Tár’ could only have been made now. It couldn’t have been made and viewed in a mainstream audience 20 years ago.”
