Jane Campion

Many social media users took serious issue with Jane Campion's acceptance speech at the Critics Choice Awards.

Serena and Venus, I apologize and completely celebrate you.” I love Serena and Venus. Their accomplishments are titanic and inspiring. I did not intend to devalue these two legendary Black women and world-class athletes.”

«La dernière chose que je souhaiterais serait de diminuer le mérite de ces femmes remarquables (...) Serena et Venus, je vous demande pardon et je vous célèbre totalement», conclut la cinéaste. Ce commentaire inattendu a déchaîné une pluie de réactions outrées, dénonçant des propos souvent jugés comme sexistes et racistes. «J’ai fait un commentaire irréfléchi comparant ce que je fais dans le monde du cinéma à tout ce que Serena Williams et Venus Williams ont accompli», écrit-elle dans un communiqué cité par les médias américains.

"I'm sorry, he was being a little bit of a B-I-T-C-H. He's not a cowboy; he's an actor," Campion told Variety in response to Elliott's comments. "The fact is the Williams sisters have, actually, squared off against men on the court (and off), and they have both raised the bar and opened doors for what is possible for women in this world. The last thing I would ever want to do is minimize remarkable women."

[…] J’adore Serena et Venus. Leurs faits d’armes sont titanesques et inspirants. Serena et Venus, je m’excuse. » Après avoir mentionné qu’elle était la seule femme dans sa catégorie, la cinéaste a lancé : « Venus et Serena, vous êtes extraordinaires.

But when the film shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, Campion rewrote the scene to emphasize the rope and the bond it symbolized between the two men. Addressing Venus and Serena Williams while accepting her award, Campion said it was “an honor to be in the room with the Williams sisters,” before adding, “and you know, Serena and Venus, you are such marvels. “We’re just filmmakers and artists, and I don’t think the gender aspect is the most important aspect of what we do. “That was the case with ‘The Piano.’ It took me five years to realize, ‘Oh, that’s pretty unusual to get that reception for a film.’” She laughs. Campion, then, has relished moviegoers’ questions about “The Power of the Dog” and its place in her career. “To me, that’s the real truth of it. “It feels like a long time ago, and, of course, it is, so all the attention feels meaningful,” Campion says. “She provides the tools so you feel like you’re connecting to the character in body and spirit,” Cumberbatch tells me. “And then she patiently waits for you to do the work. “It’s my nature to keep honing what I love, and here it has come to something — or I’m just lucky this time.” She laughs. You invest in the story so much more deeply when you have that trust in them.” Technique is fine, but Campion wants her actors to feel relaxed and confident in inhabiting their characters so audiences can sink into the story alongside them and believe every moment.

At Sunday night's Critics Choice Awards, Jane Campion took home yet another trophy for The Power Of The Dog. She beat out the competition and won Best Director, further marking a path for her to win at the Academy Awards. However, a statement Campion ...
