In the 2022 movie Tár, Cate Blanchett plays Lydia Tár, the first female director of a large German orchestra and a well-known composer-conductor. In contrast to the usual struggling artist trope, Lydia fights against her downfall as her past actions and allegations catch up with her. The film highlights her battle to deal with the impacts of her conceited actions and the difficulties of keeping her art and her controversial image apart.
