The Power of the Dog (2021)

I enjoyed it.. but I dont think its worthy of an Oscar. I’m sure it will be a contender as Jane hasn’t made a movie since The Piano and the producers will be trying to milk her previous 6 Oscar wins. I found it very good as a Gothic Western - it had the intensity and anticipation but it could have been a classic had Jane developed the characters more. 6/10

She has directed 4 films since the Piano: The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Holy Smoke (1999), In the Cut (2003), Bright Star (2009), and wrote the episodes for the TV series Top of the Lake (2013-2017) and directed 8 of them. While her movies aren’t successful like The Piano (1993), I think watching them together is a great experience: to be seduced by the eyes of the director and cinematographer which are romantic, moody, and nature plays a large part; and, the characters are always on the line of being seduced themselves by darkness. Her movie An Angel at my Table (1990) is one of my all-time favorite, favorite movies! :-)
