'Tár' — The Monster's Side of Paradise
A film for the post-MeToo era that inverts the narrative with an ironic coda, Tár depicts the duality of a sensitive artist capable of great evil and vile manipulation.

But before long, all that tension sparks fireworks of another sort, and the love-averse tough guy is torn between duty and romance.
