Cate Blanchett is opening up about her take on method acting, especially when it came to her new film, TÁR.
In the film, the 53-year-old star plays conductor Lydia Tar, who is just days away from recording the symphony that will elevate her career. When all elements seem to conspire against her, Lydia’s adopted daughter Petra becomes an integral emotional support for her struggling mother.
In a new interview, Cate opened up about how method acting helped her approach to the movie.
Cate Blanchett appears on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s 10th art issue and shared about how she selects roles and challenges herself creatively.
“If I pick up a script, and I can imagine myself [acting] it, I should put it down and let someone else do it. Because I think the process of making it and, therefore, ultimately, the experience of watching it will be thin. It’s much more exciting to be outside of your comfort zone,” the 53-year-old two-time Oscar winner said.
Cate Blanchett shows off the statement sleeves of her black gown at the premiere of TÁR during the 2022 New York Film Festival held at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center on Monday (October 3) in New York City.
The 53-year-old actress capped off her night with the red carpet event, following a series of interviews in support of the project, including one on Good Morning America and a press conference in the afternoon.
During her interview on GMA, Cate opened up about learning all she could about Lydia Tar to portray the conductor, which included picking up piano.
“It was a joy to do,” she explained on the program before picking out the hardest part of the role: stepping in front of the Dresden Philharmonic.
“That was a life-changing moment. A friend of mine who was helping me with the conducting… she said you you won’t be prepared for the sound that comes at you with those big orchestral works and it was it was phenomenal,” Cate added.
