Cate Blanchett: 'I'm an experience junkie' (EL PAÍS in English)

The actress plays a brilliant and controversial conductor in Todd Field's 'Tár,' a performance that might earn her a third Oscar at the 95th Academy Awards.

She talked about her family, her pigs and her sheep, about learning how to make cheese or perhaps becoming a beekeeper. There is a reason, after all, why director Todd Field claims to have written the script with her in mind, that the film “is her” and that, had she rejected it, filming would have stopped. I’m quite practical, but I ended up obsessed with the character.” She has even stated that she considered this to be the last role of her career. Incidentally, thanks to this film she was able to tick another item off her to-do lists: for years, according to IMDb, she had the peculiar fantasy of acting in Berlin and in the local language. I tend to go to the bottom of things, but I want to go even further. Her work in film continued, but she followed her own criteria: “Lasse Hallström made a film [The Shipping News] and I wanted to work with him. Anyone who works with her ends up taken with her commitment and professional ethics; for instance, for Tár she learned German, to play the piano and to conduct an orchestra – all in her spare time, particularly at night and during weekends. But it ended up becoming a joy and a refuge,” she says. It was one of the rarest and most satisfying experiences I’ve ever had with a director.” Perhaps this need to try new things has something to do with her passion for making to-do lists and checking off items, an exercise which IMDb claims she loves. In her latest film, on the other hand, she is present in practically every frame. And she needed the money.

Guy Pearce asserts that he and Cate Blanchett do not have “beef” (Far Out Magazine)

After posting odd Tweets about Cate Blanchett, Guy Pearce has cleared up the rumours that the pair have beef.

I was merely being sarcastic. I adore Miss CB. She will compete against the likes of Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All At Once and Andrea Riseborough for To Leslie. During an interview with The Age, Pearce was asked if he would appear in Poor Boy at the Sydney Theatre Company. Referring to De Armas’ portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik’s highly controversial biopic Blonde, Pearce wrote: “Incredible performance!” The other nominees include Michelle Williams for The Fabelmans and Margot Robbie for Babylon. For some reason, Pearce replied to the tweet, writing: “Ah no thanks”.

Oscars 2023: Ranking Cate Blanchett's 10 Best Performances (Collider.com)

Cate Blanchett is possibly the greatest actress of her generation and has received yet another nomination in the 2023 Oscar season.

The movie puts Blanchett in a complicated spot where she moves to a new city with her sister (Sally Hawkins) after her marriage breaks. The movie is a rollercoaster of emotions between the two women. The movie revolves around a love story between a divorced woman, Carol Aird (Blanchett), and a young female photographer she meets, Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara). Blanchett left audiences astounded again over her portrayal of the brilliant but deeply narcissistic and manipulative artist. In the movie, Blanchett plays an art teacher who grooms a 15-year-old student, while Dench’s Barbara Covett is an old history teacher who blackmails Sheba for her involvement with him. Though the movie revolves around Button, Daisy plays a significant role as she grows old and recovers from an accident. The movie brings in no other than Brad Pitt as the titular character, Benjamin Button, who becomes younger and younger as the years pass. After the immense success of Galadriel, Blanchett reprised her role in the prequel series, She has starred in a lot of movies, and no matter how the movie performs, she has always been appreciated for her acting skills. Though Blanchett did not win the Oscar, she ensured the audience knew there could never be a better portrayal of Queen Elizabeth. Blanchett has proved herself now and then, irrespective of the genre of the film. Many actresses have tried to fill in the shoes of Queen Elizabeth over time, but nobody has ever been able to play it and live it like Blanchett.
