An hour ago Erik Anderson posted a genius tweet...a tweet that, if conceptually heeded two or three years ago, could've saved Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog from itself. If that morose and tiresome melodrama had been made into a grand musical tragedy, and if a 12-years-younger version of Madonna had played Kirsten Dunst's role of Rose, the alcoholic newlywed with a gay, covertly homicidal son, it could have been something. Really. I'm not being facetious. Especially, I'm thinking, if it had been made Evita-style, as a sung-through musical.
