One of the characters in the film is an obvious reference to Gilbert Kaplan, which Mahlerites might find amusing.

And one of the characters is, allegedly, an obvious reference to Marin Alsop; she is not best pleased. The director has denied that Tar is based on anyone.

Only just released here (10 days ago). I think I don't need to see it on the big screen.

Thanks. Lydia Tár, widely considered one of the greatest living composer/conductors and first-ever female chief conductor of a major German orchestra.

Just checking here, Luchesi...you do know it's a fictional tale?
