Tár falls into the age-old trope of the predatory lesbian ✒️ The new film starring Cate Blanchett – about a conductor accused of sexual misconduct – is classic Oscar bait. But is its portrayal regressive? 🟠 KateMaltby
at the National Theatre in 2017, leant too heavily into this tradition. It transformed Shakespeare’s originally male character into yet another frumpy female housekeeper for us to mock for lusting after her young mistress., in which Blanchett also appeared: Judi Dench played the bitter older woman whose thwarted lust for Blanchett’s character Sheba led her to expose Sheba’s affair with a pupil she teaches. It’s another widely praised story of poisoned power dynamics.
But the real question for the industry has been whether the institutions that employ such people – and have traditionally handed them massive power to dominate a company – have the resources or imagination to restructure their entire way of working. Several institutions have seriously mishandled their responses to misconduct allegations since the

Effects of frailty, geriatric syndromes, and comorbidity on mortality and quality of life in older adults with HIV - BMC GeriatricsBackground To understand the effects of frailty, geriatric syndromes, and comorbidity on quality of life and mortality in older adults with HIV (OAWH). Methods Cross-sectional study of the FUNCFRAIL multicenter cohort. The setting was outpatient HIV-Clinic. OAWH, 50 year or over were included. We recorded sociodemographic data, HIV infection-related data, comorbidity, frailty, geriatric syndromes (depression, cognitive impairment, falls and malnutrition), quality of life (QOL) and the estimated risk of all-cause 5-year mortality by VACS Index. Association of frailty with geriatric syndromes and comorbidity was evaluated using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. Results Seven hundred ninety six patients were included. 24.7% were women, mean age was 58.2 (6.3). 14.7% were 65 or over. 517 (65%) patients had ≥3 comorbidities, ≥ 1 geriatric syndrome and/or frailty. There were significant differences in the estimated risk of mortality [(frailty 10.8%) vs. (≥ 3 comorbidities 8.2%) vs. (≥ 1 geriatric syndrome 8.2%) vs. (nothing 6.2%); p= 0.01] and in the prevalence of fair or poor QOL [(frailty 71.7%) vs. (≥ 3 comorbidities 52%) vs. (≥ 1 geriatric syndrome 58.4%) vs. (nothing 51%); p= 0.01]. Cognitive impairment was significantly associated to mortality (8.7% vs. 6.2%; p= 0.02) and depression to poor QOL [76.5% vs. 50%; p = 0.01]. Conclusions Frailty, geriatric syndromes, and comorbidity had negative effects on mortality and QOL, but frailty had the greatest negative effect out of the three factors. Our results should be a wake-up call to standardize the screening for frailty and geriatric syndromes in OAWH in the clinical practice. Trial registration NCT03558438.
