Marin Alsop, the female conductor namechecked by Cate Blanchett in her latest film “Tár,” has slammed the project, saying it offended her.
in her latest film “Tár,” has slammed the project, saying it offended her “as a woman… as a conductor…as a lesbian.”for her performance as Lydia Tár, a lesbian conductor who is accused of being abusive towards young women.
And in the film’s first act, in a scene in which Tár is being interviewed by real-life New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik, she even namechecks Alsop, saying: “As to the question of gender bias, I have nothing to complain about. Nor, for that matter, should Nathalie Stutzmann, Laurence Equilbey, Marin Alsop, or JoAnn Falletta. There were so many incredible women who came before us, women who did the real lifting.
“I first read about it in late August and I was shocked that that was the first I was hearing of it,” Alsop said of the film in an interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times newspaper. “So many superficial aspects of ‘Tár’ seemed to align with my own personal life. But once I saw it I was no longer concerned, I was offended: I was offended as a woman, I was offended as a conductor, I was offended as a lesbian.
