JANE CAMPION returns to the kind of mythic frontier landscape-pulsating with both freedom and menace- that she previously traversed in The Piano in order to plumb the masculine psyche in The Power of the Dog. Set against the desolate plains of 1920s Montana and adapted by the filmmaker from Thomas Savage's novel. After a sensitive widow (The Virgin Suicides' KIRSTEN DUNST) and her enigmatic, fiercely loving son (The Road's KODI SMIT-MCPHEE) move in with her gentle new husband (Friday Night Lights' JESSE PLEMONS), a tense battle of wills plays out between them and his brutish brother (Doctor Strange' BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH), whose frightening volatility conceals a secret torment, and whose capacity for tenderness, once reawakened, may offer him redemption or destruction. Campion, who won an Academy Award for her direction here, charts the repressed desire and psychic violence coursing among these characters with the mesmerizing control of a master at the height of her powers.

Richard Wagner's tetralogy 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' in which Power and Love are presented as mutually exclusive ideas is always a huge challenge for any opera house. 'Das Rheingold' is the opening of this extraordinary production of 'The Ring' from Het Muziektheater Amsterdam with the orchestra taking its place both in the pit and ring-shaped on the astonishing stage. The fantastic stage direction by Pierre Audi succeeds in forging a profound unity combining the lyrical mythical and philosophical qualities of Wagner's work. Breathtaking sets by George Tsypin superb costumes by Oscar-winner Eiko Ishioka and the passionate performances of the soloists and Residentie Orchestra under their inspired guest conductor Hartmut Haenchen all contribute to an intense total experience that will leave a permanent impression.
