It was so kind of Lydia Tár to speak candidly with us about the Oscars.
Yes, of course. Correct.
You started a Twitter account a few months ago, around the time the film about you came out. How come?Once we started to see the momentum of the film and the publicity, it was a bit frustrating to see a lot of that goodwill go to, of course, the well-earned artistic work of the film. But I was speaking with my publicist, who’s also with me right now on the call, and we decided that it was a good opportunity for me to speak directly to the folks who had taken such a liking to my work and legacy.
One thing that’s been interesting to observe during the life cycle of this film is that there’s all this confusion over whether Lydia Tár is a real person. What do you make of that?Well, if I wasn’t a real person, would we be speaking at this very moment?Well, I can’t say I’m surprised about the nominations. I’ve been a part of Academy Award campaigns before, but this is the first time I’ve experienced so much overwhelming support for my work, particularly online.
Yes, and I’ve known Cate for a long time. She’s a very hard worker. I’d be wrong to deny that we have quite an uncanny resemblance, and I think she really put in the work to try to pick up on all of my mannerisms. This is a little-known fact, but there are a couple of shots in the film of conducting where my hands make an uncredited cameo. They’re actually my hands, not Cate’s. But I couldn’t be happier for her. And I think she’s a very generous performer.
Well, if I’m being honest, I was quite unhappy when I first saw the cut. I’ve spoken to Todd about it, and I’ve continued to assert that many events in the film are untrue works of fiction. But I won’t deny that I can be a prickly authoritarian at times, and if that’s ever rubbed anyone the wrong way, I’m sorry for that. But I think those who’ve known me for a long time are familiar with my warmth and fairness, and I wish a little bit more of that would’ve come through in the film.
