‘The Power Of The Dog’: Read The Screenplay For Jane Campion’s Savage Snapshot Of The American West

Jane Campion is sitting up in bed at her home in Sydney, about to go for her morning swim and reeling from the news that her film The Power of the Dog has received 12 Oscar nominations, two shy of the record 14 garnered by just three films in Academy history: All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land. “I didn’t have a very good sleep, but I’ve had a very good day,” she says cheerily. “At about 2am I could hear the beeps coming in on my phone, and then my partner came in and… Well, he took his time. He was really spinning it out, cruelly. From the look on his face I thought, ‘Oh no, we didn’t get any.’”
