Adapting Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel, Jane Campion orchestrates a riveting Greek tragedy set in the early 20th century across a visually striking stretch of Montana. Two cattle rancher brothers—precocious roughneck Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch, in one of his most commanding roles) and simple, straight-arrow George (Jesse Plemons)—blow into the life of widowed innkeeper Rose (Kirsten Dunst) and her sensitive son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee). George immediately falls for Rose, while Phil’s cruelty alienates both her and her son, creating a tense dynamic that becomes even more poisonous when George asks for Rose’s hand in marriage. What follows is a powerful drama that portrays the ruthlessness of our world against the weak and the vulnerable, delivered with all the compassion, irony, and splendor we’ve come to expect from one of the truly visionary filmmakers of our time.

About the Telluride Film Festival

The Telluride Film Festival has been, for the last 48 years, a celebration of the art of film: honoring the great masters of the cinema, discovering the rare and unknown, bringing new works by the world’s greatest directors and the latest in American independent film to a small mountain town in Colorado. The New York Times called Telluride “the smallest, most original, and most stimulating of the major festivals,” while Entertainment Tonight simply said it was “the world’s best festival.”
