THE POWER OF THE DOG (2021) – AFI Movie Club

THE POWER OF THE DOG (2021) was recognized in the year of its release with an AFI AWARD in 2021, naming it among the most outstanding motion pictures of year. According to the official rationale, “THE POWER OF THE DOG looks to the hills for secrets unseen – and finds them in powerful, poetic images that transport audiences with a modern look back at the American West. This landmark work proves Jane Campion’s unparalleled ability to capture a world of breathless beauty and breathtaking brutality, both wrapped tight as a rope. This slow-burn tale is a brilliant exercise in suspense and release – masterfully manifested by a brilliant cast and an unforgettably complex performance by Benedict Cumberbatch.”
