Jane Campion just won the spelling honey bee of shade.
The overseer of the Oscar-designated film The Power of the Dog has answered Sam Elliott’s extremely open analysis of her Western.
“I’m sorry, he was being a little bit of a B-I-T-C-H,” she said, spelling out the final word, as she spoke with Variety ahead of the 74th annual DGA Awards on Saturday, March 12. “I’m sorry to say it but he’s not a cowboy, he’s an actor.”
She proceeded, “The West is a mythic space and there’s a great deal of room on the reach.”
Campion-who proceeded to win the marquee Theatrical Feature Film prize at the DGA Awards-additionally accepts there is some sexism going on.
“I consider myself a creator and I think he sees me as a woman or something lesser first,” she said, “and I don’t appreciate that.”
She repeated comparative remarks to Deadline saying his comments “hit the trifecta of sexism and xenophobia and homophobia.”
Last month, in a meeting on Marc Maron’s WTF web recording, Elliott considered The Power of the Dog a “piece of s-t.”
“What the f–k does this woman from down there know about the American West?” Elliott exclaimed, “And why in the f–k did she shoot this movie in New Zealand and call it Montana? And say this is the way it was? That f–king rubbed me the wrong way, pal..”
Elliott additionally offered remarks that many have considered homophobic about the characters in the film.
“That’s what all these fucking cowboys in that movie looked like,” the 1883 actor said. “They’re running around in chaps and no shirts. There are all these allusions to homosexuality throughout the movie. Where’s the Western in this Western?”
E! News contacted Elliott’s reps for input and didn’t hear back.
A few of the film’s cast individuals have since remarked on Elliot’s analysis. Benedict Cumberbatch said the cruel words were “extremely odd” while Jesse Plemons said it “made him snicker.”
In a meeting with The Hollywood Reporter, the 33-year-old entertainer let the power source know that individuals can have their own perspectives.
“I know there are different layers to that,” he said in the March 12 interview. “Not everyone has to like it, I’ll say that. That’s fine”.
