Early during Camerimage, everyone’s still reeling from jet lag. By the time Ari Wegner sits down for an interview by a reception desk in the festival’s main hall, she’s already held one Q&a and is about to head to another. Still, she’s upbeat and articulate about one of the most acclaimed films of the year.
Set in 1925 Montana, Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog takes place on a remote cattle ranch. Brothers struggle over control of the ranch, a conflict heightened by the arrival of a new wife and her college-age son.
Based on a 1967 novel by Thomas Savage, the story pries into characters and themes long ignored by Westerns. The cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch as overbearing rancher Phil Burbank, Jesse Plemons as his diffident younger brother George, and Kirsten Dunst as Rose Younger, a bride unsure of her position in a new family.
