It’s a reserved, distant affair, where the camera seems unwilling to get too close to the actors. Another reason is the uncompromising nature of the production. One good reason is that Jane Campion made The Power of the Dog for Netflix, where it may now be accessed from the comfort of one’s lounge room. When I saw this film at the cinema last week, there was hardly anybody in the theatre. It’s Home on the Range by Ingmar Bergman. Beyond these colourful props lies a dark, claustrophobic psychodrama. There’s even a brief appearance by a handful of tame, demoralised Native Americans. The setting is the rugged wilds of Montana (even though the movie was shot in New Zealand), the characters are kitted out in chaps and cowboy hats. Don’t go along to The Power of the Dog expecting gunfights at the OK Corral.
