Set in Montana in the 1920s, Jane Campion\u2019s hot\u00adly anti\u00adci\u00adpa\u00adted new film is an enthr\u00adal\u00adling revi\u00adsio\u00adnist wes\u00adtern awa\u00adsh in sub\u00adli\u00adme expan\u00adses and nuan\u00adce, cap\u00adtu\u00adring a land\u00adscape and a peo\u00adp\u00adle dri\u00adven by the fan\u00adta\u00adsy and fol\u00adly of wes\u00adtern expan\u00adsi\u00adon. Adapted from Thomas Savage\u2019s cult novel of the same name, The Power of the Dog tells the sto\u00adry of suc\u00adcessful ran\u00adcher brot\u00adhers George (Jesse Plemons) and Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) Burbank, who\u00adse rela\u00adti\u00adonship sours when the more mild-man\u00adne\u00adred George mar\u00adries local widow Rose (Kirsten Dunst).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rose and her son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee) arri\u00adve at the Burbank ranch \u2014 see\u00admingly who\u00adle\u00adso\u00adme and na\u00ef\u00adve \u2014 and attempt to fit into the family\u2019s com\u00adplex dyna\u00admic of new money, but are con\u00adti\u00adnu\u00adal\u00adly sty\u00admied by an uns\u00adpo\u00adken brot\u00adher\u00adly bond. Phil\u2019s past as a clas\u00adsics scho\u00adlar at Yale is bare\u00adly dis\u00adcer\u00adni\u00adble as he sports a tough and dir\u00adty exte\u00adri\u00ador, while fre\u00adquent\u00adly refer\u00adring to the anti\u00adcs of his men\u00adtor Bronco Bill. Cumberbatch shi\u00adnes in this fero\u00adcious per\u00adfor\u00admance as a cow\u00adboy to the core, who\u00adse hurtful, macho quips toward Peter and his mother hint at a sim\u00adme\u00adring men\u00adace and a capa\u00adci\u00adty for erra\u00adtic cruel\u00adty and vio\u00adlence; a kind of camou\u00adfla\u00adge that only ser\u00adves to repress deep-sea\u00adted trau\u00adma and latent desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proving once again that she is one of today\u2019s grea\u00adtest film\u00adma\u00adkers, Campion deli\u00advers a fasci\u00adna\u00adting stu\u00addy of mas\u00adcu\u00adli\u00adni\u00adty and inter\u00adnal tor\u00adment, sub\u00adver\u00adting the codes of the wes\u00adtern \u2014 and of the male gaze \u2014 in a uni\u00adver\u00adse that is always shif\u00adting in tone, ren\u00adde\u00adred with stun\u00adning cine\u00adma\u00adto\u00adgra\u00adphy by Ari Wegner, a dis\u00adori\u00aden\u00adting score by Jonny Greenwood, and a ter\u00adri\u00adfic ensem\u00adble cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
