The Power of the Dog (12A)
Dir. Jane Campion, Australia/NZ, 2021, 126 mins. Cast. Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Kodi Smit-McPhee.
Jane Campion returns to the big screen with a beguilingly dark drama about two wealthy brothers in the American West. Rancher Phil Burbank is an intimidating presence to all but his brother George. The two men run a ranch on the edge of a tiny frontier town in the early 1920s. George yearns for something more refined, while Phil is content with their mutual isolation and craves his brother’s favour and companionship. When George brings home a new wife and her teenage son, Phil turns on his most arresting power to torment, brilliantly terrorising every frame with silent menace. Scene by scene, our understanding of his cruel persona shifts in such surprising and fascinating ways.
