Seymour Public Library to show Oscar-nominated drama
SEYMOUR - Join us Feb. 15 at Seymour Public Library in the lower level auditorium to watch an Oscar Nominee movie! The movie starts at 1 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
The Library is at 46 Church St.
We'll be showing "Tár" starring Cate Blanchett, Noémie Merlant, Nina Hoss, Sophie Kauer, Julian Glover, Allan Corduner, and Mark Strong.
It is rated R and its duration is 2 hours, 37 minutes.
Summary: Having achieved an enviable career few could even dream of, renowned conductor/composer Lydia Tár, the first female principal music director of the Berlin Philharmonic, is at the top of her game.
As a conductor, Lydia not only orchestrates, she manipulates. As a trailblazer, the passionate virtuoso leads the way in the male-dominated classical music industry.
Moreover, Lydia prepares for the release of her memoir while juggling work and family. She is also willing to take up one of her most significant challenges: a live recording of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5.
However, forces that even the imperious maestro can't control slowly chip away at Lydia's elaborate façade, revealing the genius's dirty secrets and the insidious, corrosive nature of power. What if life knocks Lydia off her pedestal?
