The Power of the Dog at Venice Film Festival, shared her optimism for the future of women in the film industry.“All I can say is that, since the #MeToo movement happened, I feel a change in the weather,” she said, according to The Guardian.
Believe it or not, “The Power of the Dog” marks the first film by acclaimed director Jane Campion to feature a male-lead. Previously, the filmmaker has made it a point to tell stories about women, as Campion has always been cognizant of the fact that female-led stories, particularly from female filmmakers, have been rare in Hollywood.

What’s also clear is that Jane Campion has made a complex and probing adaptation of the late Thomas Savage’s superb 1967 novel about two very different Montana rancher brothers caught in a twisted emotional bind.
