Until recently, Todd Field, whose feature directorial debut is the acclaimed 2001 drama "In the Bedroom," hadn't made a film since its 2006 follow-up, the well-regarded "Little Children."
To hear the filmmaker tell it, his third film, "Tár" — which arrives in theaters this week — easily could have not come to fruition.
"This script was written for one artist, Cate Blanchett," Field says in his director's statement. "Had she said no, the film would have never seen the light of day."
