"Lydia Tar" is the story of a young composer who loses her way in New York. The final scene suggests that she's really not just in for fame, because she's in this situation with respect. "I can't help but think that the scenes we see of her life as Lydia tar are just the way that I think you would write," says director Paul Verhoeven.
The great Paul Bloom returns to the show to explore the many mysteries of Todd Field’s 2022 film “Tár.” Is it a ghost story? A movie about cancel culture and abuse of power? Guilt? Professional disappointment? The anxiety of getting old, losing touch with youth and reality? Reminds me of my freshman year at Smith…
Plus – Paul gets into trouble on Twitter for saying he’s mildly pro-trigger warnings in certain cases. But is he ignoring the science???
