Jane Campion has spoken out against superhero films calling them “noisy” and “ridiculous”.
The Oscar-winning writer-director of The Piano was asked about her thoughts on the genre at a recent screening of her new awards-tipped Netflix drama The Power of the Dog.
The Power of the Dog is the first film from Campion since 2009’s Bright Star and is one of the frontrunners for next year’s best picture Oscar.
It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a sexually repressed rancher who develops a strange fascination with an effete young man.
