To prepare for their roles in 'The Power of the Dog,' Kirsten Dunst and Benedict Cumberbatch didn’t speak to each other on set. Their choice not to interact set the tone for their characters, she says, who barely speak to each other in the film.
The Power of the DogJane Campion's menacing take on masculinity in the American West got 12 nominations including best picture and best director.
The script drew Dunst to the role, she said. She recalls running out screaming in one scene where even the horses seemed startled. Dunst said she excels at conveying emotion without words.
