The writer-director of 'Tár' on why the end credits of the movie play at the beginning, perplexing some audiences.
“Tár” is the first film written and directed by Todd Field in 16 years, so it is understandable that the filmmaker may be a little out of practice in spilling exactly what his work is about. But “
Field is a three-time Oscar nominee, including nominations for the screenplays for his two previous films as director, 2001’s “In The Bedroom” and 2006’s “Little Children.
The movie opens with an image on a camera phone that the audience has no context for yet, and then what are typically the end credits play out in full. I saw the movie at a public showing and the audience reaction moved from confusion to a palpable annoyance and even anger. What made you want to include the end credits at the beginning of the movie?It’s always dangerous to talk about these things because I think that your ideas evolve.
It was also that even though it’s a rehearsal film, there’s a tremendous amount of performance required, and if anyone came at the end other than the performers to take that curtain call, I’d be throwing fruit and tomatoes at the screen. So it was really important that they come out and we have the pleasure of letting them take a curtain call.
