N2  - The #MeToo movement is a global social movement, led by African American activist Tarana Burke, that aims to denounce sexual, psychological, and physical violence. Following an upsurge in its popularity at the end of 2017 due to the Harvey Weinstein case and many other high-profile affairs bringing traction to the topic, many filmmakers have attempted to transcribe to the big screen the waves of testimonies which emerged from this historical turning point. While most of the films which came out as a direct response to the hashtag?s popularity, such as The Assistant (2019) and Bombshell (2019), retell real-life events, Tár (2022), a film directed by Todd Field, presents itself as an entirely fictional psychological drama, which, rather than reenacting a Me Too narrative, comments more generally on the issue of power and workplace relationships within the classical music industry. Despite its reluctance to associate with the movement, the 2022 movie successfully highlights some of the same power dynamics and abusive behaviors that #MeToo has called out and condemned. This article intends, on the one hand, to explore the representation of power and silencing within the movie while, on the other hand, attempting to determine whether Tár should reconsider its director?s unwillingness to associate with the feminist social movement since its main perpetrator of abuse, Lydia Tár, is a woman in power.
