The Power of the Dog (Jane Campion 2021) w/ Emily Gagne
Felicia is joined by Emily Gagne to discuss Jane Campion’s feminist western film, The Power of the Dog (2021).
We chat about the way Campion reveals the truths about these characters without having to explicitly say it through dialogue. Along with why a woman making a Western about a flawed man works.
