Given there's a lot of attention on this famous conductor right now given the Oscars, could she run on an anti-woke progressive platform?

Do you have romantic and sexual relationships with your proteges?

The message of this movie was pretty muddled, to be honest, and I didn't love it as a result, although it  had great acting and of course music, and a good flair for the dramatic.

I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.

In all seriousness I just had someone send me the clip of her telling off the "woke" student claiming playing Bach is racist/heterocisnormative or whatever and that's where I could see the similarities...

If we're considering outsider auteurs why not celebrity chef Julian Slowik?

So I actually watched the movie finally, and I have to say I am 100% on Team Tar. There is literally no evidence whatsoever presented in the film that she was an abuser, yet the mob in real life presumed she was and judged her accordingly anyway, and those reviewers who didn't and had to admit she looked more like the victim than her supposed victims in the film (such as The New Yorker) bashed the film for being "reactionary" and "conservative" for daring to attack "cancel culture."

The film is utterly brilliant for just putting out the suggestion that maybe she was possibly guilty of something distasteful, without ever actually confirming it, and both showing how the mob reacted to it in the film and perfectly predicting how they would react to it in real life! It was a devastating takedown on how the presumption of innocence has utterly disappeared in our society.

As for my own similarities to the character, they basically begin and end in the Bach scene I mentioned, but I find it very telling that THAT scene is the only part of the "evidence" against her which is SHOWN to be deliberately distorted and manipulated and the audience KNOWS it for a fact. Yet still most reviewers and viewers seem to buy into the narrative that she was guilty without a shred of evidence.

Absolutely brilliant film, challenges Top Gun and All Quiet On The Western Front for best of the year now IMO.
