The filmmaker won the Golden Globes for best director and best film, this Sunday, January 9, for her feature film The Power of the Dog. A prize list that suggests an Oscar coronation.


Two opposing brothers Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George (Jesse Plemons) Burbank run the biggest ranch in the Montana Valley. One day, Phil learns that George has secretly married Rose (Kirsten Dunst), a widow who comes to live in their home with her son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee). A real war of nerves ensues, led by Phil, who intends to destroy his sister-in-law. This is the screenplay for

The Power of the Dog,

Jane Campion's latest feature film, released on December 1, 2021 on Netflix.



This adaptation of the eponymous novel by Thomas Savage earned him the two most prestigious Golden Globes, in the category Best Director and Best Film. The filmmaker was competing with Kenneth Branagh for

Belfast

, Maggie Gyllenhaal for

The Lost Daughter

, Steven Spielberg for

West Side Story

and Denis Villeneuve for

Dune

.

She has also already won the Silver Lion at the Venice Mostra, in September 2021.

"The Oscars Antechamber"

A record that suggests a potential Oscar crowning.

Evidenced by the experience of Chloé Zhao.

Nicknamed "the hall of the Oscars", the Golden Globes had crowned the filmmaker for her film

Nomadland,

in 2021. The latter had subsequently received the Oscar for best director.

Having become, with Chloé Zhao and Barbra Streisand (

Yentl

), one of the only three women to have won the Golden Globe for best filmmaker, Jane Campion could therefore succeed her in the race for the Oscars.

In 1993, the New Zealander was already making film history by becoming the first woman to receive the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for

La Leçon de piano

.

She also won the Oscar for best original screenplay for the same film.

Toxic masculinity

With

The Power of the Dog

, Jane Campion signs a film centered "on toxic masculinity", as she recently confided to the

Guardian

.

“Trying to understand it and recognize it is the only way to change this masculinity,” she explained to the British daily.

You can't just oppose it, it would add fuel to the fire.

You have to understand why these men are causing harm to others and to themselves. ”

Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays the film's antihero, was also nominated for the Golden Globes, in the category Best actor in a dramatic film.

He nevertheless lost to Will Smith, crowned for his role in

The Williams Method.
