annoyingthemesong:SUBLIME CINEMA #582 - THE POWER OF THE DOGWesterns persist - even if shot in New Zealand, or Spain or subbing Arizona for Texas - the myth lives in the mind. The reality was probably a lot grittier. Jane Campion succeeded in creating a fresh take on the genre, and mostly works to dismantle those myths, while preserving a lot of the rules, and allowing it to fit with her other work. I bet it wins the Oscar. Beautiful cinematography by Ari Wegner. Excellent movie. Hope it wins a prize or two. -- source link
