From its very first moments, Tár announces itself as an event. It’s not just another movie—it’s an immersive visual and aural experience. The credits play in full at the beginning, backgrounded by eerie music. It immediately conveys majesty and sophistication. Writer-director Todd Field took this cue from the work of major orchestras, which fits the theme of the movie but also adds gravitas. Even the accent in the title tells us there’s pretension.

From travel times with ETAs that are accurate down to the minute to real-time traffic information, many of us take these conveniences for granted. It wasn’t always this way, as those of us who used to print out Mapquest directions recall.
