Set in the international world of classical music, the highly anticipated TÁR is a masterful drama about celebrity conductor Lydia Tár, the first-ever female chief conductor of a major German orchestra. In a film centred on its star performer Cate Blanchett and helped by the strength of the supporting actresses (Noémie Merlant, Nina Hoss), TÁR is a study in power, passion, and entitlement that feels eminently real.
Bina Daigeler and Morag Ross have previously teamed up with Cate Blanchett in Julian Rosenfeldt’s Manifesto and the popular TV series Mrs. America. They will talk to us about creating characters with Cate Blanchett, dressing the cast in Todd Field’s film and the research behind the creation of Lydia TÁR’s masculin and sharp style.
ABOUT BINA DAIGELER
Bina started her career as a costume designer in German cinema in the mid-eighties. Attracted by the vibrant Madrid scene and its creative explosion in that decade, she soon moved to Spain and has stayed there ever since, although her varied projects take her all around the world.
Her first work in Spain was for the iconic Airbag (Juanma Bajo Ulloa, 1997), a huge box office hit that broke commercial moulds in its day. She later worked with Pedro Almodóvar in All About My Mother (1999) and in Volver (2006), which together with Unconscious (Joaquín Oristrell, 2004) and Princesas (Fernando León de Aranoa, 2005), won her a total of four Goya Awards nominations for Best Costume Design.
Alongside her enormously fruitful and gratifying career in Spanish cinema, she has also worked on international projects, among which Disney’s Mulan (Niki Caro, 2020), film that won her her first Oscar nomination and as well as the Costume Designers Guild Award for Sci-Fi/Fantasy Excellence.
Other recent works include the TV shows Mrs. America (Dahvi Waller, 2020) and 1899 (Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, 2022).
Todd Field’s TÁR is, after Manifesto (Julian Rosefeldt, 2015) and Mrs. America, her third collaboration with actress Cate Blanchett.
