FRANCES CONROY

THE POWER OF THE DOG (2021)
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, Kirsten Dunst, Thomasin McKenzie, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Frances Conroy, Keith Carradine, Peter Carroll, Adam Beach and Sean Keenan. Directed by Jane Campion.

Wealthy Montana brothers Phil and George Burbank are two sides of one coin. Phil is graceful, brilliant and cruel where George is stolid, fastidious and gentle. Together they are joint owners of the biggest ranch in the Montana valley. It is a place where men are still men, the rapidly modernizing 20th century is kept at bay and where the figure of Bronco Henry, the greatest cowboy Phil ever knew, is revered. When George secretly marries local widow Rose (Dunst), a shocked and angry Phil wages a sadistic, relentless war to destroy her entirely using her effeminate son Peter as a pawn. Jane Campion has written the adaptation of the Thomas Savage 1967 novel of the same name.

REVIEWS The Power of the Dog - Jane Campion returns with a magnificent epic on the human heart

JOKER (2019)
Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Frances Conroy, Zazie Beetz, Josh Pais, Marc Maron, Bryan Callen, Brett Cullen, Shea Whigham and Bill Camp. Directed by Todd Phillips.

Centres around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.
