This year's Academy Award nominations are a showcase of Australian and New Zealand talent, with Jane Campion's 'The Power of the Dog' leading the race with 12 nominations, and further nods for Nicole Kidman, 'Dune' cinematographer Greig Fraser and the 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' VFX team.
Expectations were understandably high for Jane Campion's first feature film in 12 years, but the majority of critics believe 'The Power of the Dog' has a deserved place among her previous successes following its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Thursday.
As anticipated, writer-director Jane Campion's 'The Power of the Dog' will make its world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
Jane Campion's 'The Power of the Dog', starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, will reportedly premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
