Cate Blanchett: After the “fire” she received for the film “Tár” she is thinking about… retirement

Cate Blanchett revealed that her latest role in the film ‘Tár’ left her physically and mentally exhausted, leading her to seriously consider retirement.

The actress appeared on ‘The Sunday Project’ and said that she is seriously considering leaving the entertainment industry after this experience.

“I think because it was a difficult role, the impact of it is still with me, I need time to process it,” the actress said of the film “Tár”.

“Obviously, I’ve worked with amazing directors who have changed my life, but when everything comes together like that, you’re left with something. That’s why I never want to work again,” he added with a smile. The actress, who was born in Melbourne and currently lives in the US, went on to say that she has been deeply homesick for the past four years and dreams of returning to Australia and sitting in her garden.

“I’m very obsessed, like most Australians, obsessed with water. I want to be next to the water, in the water,” she said about her homeland. “I would love to learn to be patient, to be still and to think. My grandmother was a great gardener and my mother is also a great gardener – she lives with us – and I really want to spend time in the garden with my mum.”

Kate then joked that “millions of people around the world are clapping right now” after hearing her retirement plans.

This comes after the ‘fire’ the actress received for her role in the film, which won her a Golden Globe. The star plays Lydia Tár, who, according to the film’s plot, rises to become the first female conductor of a German orchestra.

Many “condemned” the film, which received the best reviews, as “anti-women”. The glamorous blonde actress described the film, directed by Todd Field, as “very provocative” in an interview with BBC Radio 4.

Marin Alsop, a real conductor, came forward to condemn the film as “anti-feminist”. Marin, 66, who is one of the world’s leading female conductors, told The Australian newspaper: “To have the opportunity to portray a woman in this role to make her an abuser, to me, is heartbreaking.”

Saying that Alsop is entitled to her opinion and that she has the utmost respect for the maestro, Cate Blanchett described the film as “a mediation on power and that power has no gender.”

She also distanced herself from any accusation that the film used Alsop or any other female conductor as a basis for her character. Cate Blanchett is expected to win her second Best Actress Oscar for her role.
