“Tár” director Todd Field says he may never make another feature film — despite rave reviews for the recent Cate Blanchett drama, which he also penned and produced.
Field, 59, got candid about the next stage of his career in a recent interview with Cinema Scope, revealing that it’s “highly likely” he’s done with directing.
“There’s a real challenge in making a film of any size,” he explained. “It’s not for the faint of heart. I wish I was cut out for different stuff, because I probably wouldn’t make more films.”
“Tár” is Field’s third film and was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
Field’s previous films, 2001’s “In The Bedroom” and 2006’s “Little Children,” were met with widespread acclaim and received multiple Oscar noms.
Explaining why he may never direct again, Field stated it was because the process “takes a great deal out of me.”
He said the struggle to make a movie can partially be attributed to how long the process is and the amount of time it takes in production.
“You have to give it everything,” he sighed. “And as you get older, you realize how valuable time is; there’s only so much time in that hourglass. I’m not in my 20s or 30s anymore — I’ll be 60 in year and a half. You start thinking about these things.”
Field worked as an actor, appearing in “Twister,” “Walking and Talking” and “Eyes Wide Shut.”
“Tár” starred Cate Blanchett as Lydia Tár, a praised conductor who is accused of sexual misconduct and of abuse.
Blanchett won a bevy of Best Actress awards for her role, including a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and a Critic’s Choice Award.
The actress praised Field in a recent interview with Screen Daily, saying: “I’ve made it blatantly clear that I’d love to work with him again.”
