Jane Campion fought through tears last night accepting the Best Director award for The Power Of The Dog at the New York Film Critics Circle ceremony last night after a moving intro from Martin Scorsese.He first met Campion in 1990 at the Venice premiere An Angel At My Table “and my admiration has only increased over the years.
I wish she would make more pictures, but every one that you do get to make really counts,” he said. “It’s a precious thing to have an artistic voice as powerful as Jane’s developing over time.”Scorsese is currently editing his own western crime drama, upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon.
He said Campion’s The Power of the Dog, based on a 1967 novel written by Thomas Savage, turned the genre inside out. “What is strength and who is the strongest?” In Campion’s film, ‘there is a battle, right, but it is not out on the open range.”Campion, her voice catching, and stopping several times to collect herself, called it “a lifetime thrill to have such words said about this film” and that’s she’s eternally bonded to New York City because “this is where the filmmaker genius Martin Scorsese first made films.”The Power of The Dog (from Neflix) dominated the NYFCC awards, which were unveiled last December, with Benedict Cumerbatch taking Best Actor and Kodi Smit-McPhee Best Supporting Actor.
Campion and Ryusuke Hamaguchi, who accepted the Best Picture nod for Drive My Car (from Sideshow/Janus Films) both said the early shout-outs played a key role in their films’ subsequent rollout and recognition.It was night to recognize critics “who champion films they love and filmmakers and actors whose work they consider outstanding,” said Campion.
