Nice piece about Tár and great point about the German. As a translator of German to English, I found her effective use of German yet another stunning power move that I wasn’t sure all noticed. What an amazing film! What an amazing actor/Schauspielerin!
Hi, Steve, and thanks for reading. . . SUCH effective use of German (I lived in Berlin for several years and although my German isn't what I wish it would be I do appreciate the language). Blanchett's pronunciation was great, too, just the right amount of laziness to it.

Go Germanophiles! We will devote a special edition to Goethe.
