Are you old enough to remember when Netflix was an underdog in international film festivals?

The Venice Film Festival has announced its lineup of winners, and Netflix has made quite a show for itself in the major categories.

Kirsten Dunst and Benedict Cumberbatch are generating a lot of awards buzz with their new movie The Power of the Dog!

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.

The ghost of a legendary cowboy named Bronco Henry haunts “The Power of the Dog,” an evocative, sensory psychodrama set in the American West of the 1920s. While Bronco is long gone and never seen on the screen, his spirit is felt everywhere in this soulful exploration of masculinity and repressed love, one that is equal parts untamed and delicate and wholly gorgeous.

Roberto Benigni is feeling the love.

This week at the Venice Film Festival, guests got to see Oscar-winner Jane Campion’s first feature since 2009’s Bright Star.

Director Jane Campion is back with the Netflix film “Power of The Dog” after a 12-year hiatus from feature-length filmmaking (she did make two “Top Of The Lake” series during this time). The western thriller has an impressive cast consisting of Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Thomasin McKenzie, and Jesse Plemons.

Jane Campion fans, take heart. While it’s been a million years since her last feature (2009’s deeply underrated “Bright Star“), she finally returns to the big screen with “The Power Of The Dog.

After a fairly prolific run in the ‘90s, Jane Campion only made two films in the ‘00s. And since 2009’s “Bright Star,” the director has yet to create another feature.
