The Making of The Power of the Dog with Jane Campion & Team | NYFF59

Director Jane Campion and cast members Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, and Kodi Smit-McPhee, and cinematographer Ari Wegner discuss The Power of the Dog, the Main Slate Centerpiece selection of the 59th New York Film Festival, with NYFF Director of Programming Dennis Lim.
With The Power of the Dog, her first film in nearly twelve years, Jane Campion reaffirms her status as one of the world’s greatest-and most gratifyingly eccentric-filmmakers. A mesmerizing, psychologically rich variation on the American western, it tells the story a melancholy young widow (played by Kirsten Dunst) who marries a rancher in 1920s Montana, where she and her young son are tormented by her new husband’s sullen and bullying brother (played by Benedict Cumberbatch).

Kodi Smit-McPhee deserves an Oscar. I found his performance extraordinary. "Microscopic violence" is a good description of this film.

[@macducati2304]

What? wandering around looking dopey, most teenage boys could pull that one off. Oscar my aunt Fanny. Microscopic script more like.

@@macducati2304 oh? And did you see his solution coming?

[@howardkoor2796]

Agreed

[@krishnabora7387]

@@macducati2304 Yeah coz body language,diction, dialogue delivery and other nuances are nothing. One needs to do an overly dramatic monologue while crying their eyes out and with snort coming out of their nose do be considered worthy of Oscar. His performance was exactly what was required from his character. It's very rare that critics praise such an understated performance. Also boy has always been a brillaint actor.

Benedict is already an extraordinary actor. But Kodi literally surprised me in this movie. To act with such huge experienced actors and to act such greatly oh my God. Kodi literally owned that character. Loved the film and loved each one of them.

Microscopic and invisible acts of violence as described at 6:47. amazing insight

[@kelvynification]

I felt that the ending was what really rocketed the film into the stratosphere, the tension that was maintained throughout was so beautifully dissipated in the last scenes. There were no exceptions in the brilliance of the performances. Great film:)

[@ozbrizzie8869]

Why are they not bringing Kodi and the cinematographer more in the conversation. It’s almost like I don’t really know them so I want bother. Why wait until they are universally well known before they are truly acknowledged. They were both brilliant. Typical Hollywood attitude.

[@aav54]

Same. I think Benedict sensed that and later asked a question to Kodi. This is not a good interviewer at all....😐

[@jesse1008]

Seriously another question about staying in character ?? Seriously, common !

[@tonistokes1790]

Like Jane Campion, I too, do like cowboys! Deep yearning, grief, anger, fear, loss, strong emotions are evoked in this powerful movie. Practicing… and learning to make ropes. The actors embodied their characters. So much done behind the filming that we are not aware of without this type of interview… choreography, waltzing, body coach, piano and banjo lessons, learning to castrate a bull and make a rope, riding horses, etc. Playing the comb led me to think Peter is on the Spectrum as this is something children with autism do. Interesting that it would have been written in a book in 1967, when we did not speak of autism. At that time a person on the Spectrum would have been considered .

[@howardkoor2796]

Sensational story

[@DrNancyLivingCoCreatively]

Alienation. From love even if the land engulfs how do we know love? Culturally timely. Embody love...the earth to each other. Life is erotic if we choose.

Shocking interviewer

[@macducati2304]

They had to push this utter Turkey of a film because they know how bad it is, and oh, it's a bucket of shit. Do not waste your time, avoid at all costs, it's that bad.

[@kelvynification]

Maybe you should bear in mind that taste like points of view are very subjective. One persons bucket of shit is earth enriching manure to another.

[@pam0626]

I saw this last night on Netflix. It was a good film, but it could have been so much more. Firstly, there is literally no dialogue. I understand that men in the Old West were perhaps men of few words, but I suspect even those men had more dialogue than this screenplay. It was a lazy directorial effort by Campion with missed opportunities to let the actors shine, most especially Kirsten Dunst and Jessie Plebens. They are brilliant in every scene but underutilized throughout. We never see their courtship play out. He helps her in the restaurant one night, and then he brings her and her son home to the ranch. She is an intelligent woman-did she not voice her concerns over the fact that she and her son would have to share living quarters with his sadistic, homophobic brother Phil? And the last third of the film was a rushed blur. Without giving anything away, it just…ended.

[@crazychick1933]

I felt like the story was more Phil’s journey and so it was his reaction to his brother’s marriage- the brotherly bond they had- they still slept in the same bedroom like when they were children. Her arrival shakes things up and Phil sees what his brother now has and how can Phil ever have that in that time and world? She highlights what Phil never have and takes his brother from him and he carries loneliness and longing in his heart that he cannot share and that is why he abuses his brother’s wife. One day his brother is spending time with a woman he considers a threat- and then he’s moving her into the ranch. That’s why I think we didn’t see their courtship.
