Todd Field’s music video for Hildur Guðnadóttir’s “Mortar” from TÁR


Deutsche Grammophon’s groundbreaking concept album for Todd Field’s critically acclaimed new film TÁR captures the process of music-making that lies at the heart of the film. The soundtrack features a series of stunning new works by Hildur Guðnadóttir. Representing the psychological aspect of the story, and the protagonist’s troubled state of mind, Guðnadóttir’s score has an unsettling, almost unearthly feel. Its purpose, says the composer, “is to be otherworldly and to be this kind of invisible thing that seeps into your unconscious”. One of the tracks that helps build this disquieting atmosphere is “Mortar”, featuring the composer herself on cello. Todd Field has made a standalone video for the piece in which Guðnadóttir and the cast of TÁR all appear, their distorted images again mirroring Lydia Tár’s disintegrating world.


“The idea was born from conversations with Cate Blanchett,” explains the director. “This piece of film was conceived as an in-between place for the main character to fall into herself. A place where the natural laws of her waking state do not apply. The shooting process involved all cast members, and was photographed at the end of each day during principal photography in Berlin and South East Asia in 2021. In September 2022 Hildur and I met again in Berlin where she stepped back into this place and bound herself to the other players.”

Think about the fact that Hildur composed the soundtrack for both Tàr and Women Talking this year after the Joker and Chernobyl combo. My God, what a genius.

[NathanQueija]

Hildur is an absolute Genius. I'm a huge fan.

[americker]

Reminds me a touch of Mica Levi's ace score for Under the Skin

[PARCPROD]

I love the fact that this music was created by the singer of Múm's Green Grass of Tunnel.

For sone strange reason I see the serie DARK in this video.
But for another strange reason I find It so relaxing that i think that I am not that sane.

[frankyeichler]

Wundervoll! Ich habe von Hildur nichts anderes erwartet

[fidulario]

Once the Nordic people have introduced themselves, you know more about their family than your own.
