The Power of the Dog (2021)
In 1925 Montana, wealthy ranch-owning brothers Phil and George Burbank meet widow and inn owner Rose Gordon during a cattle drive. The kind-hearted George is quickly taken with Rose, but the volatile Phil dislikes her, believing she only wants George’s money. He also dislikes her teenage son Peter, whom he derides as weak and effeminate. George and Rose get married, and she moves into the Burbank ranch house and sends Peter to medical school. One evening, George organizes a dinner party with his parents and the governor, with Rose playing their new piano.
During the party, Rose, rattled by Phil’s earlier belittling of her skills, is unable to play more than a few notes of the “Radetzky March”. She begins drinking alcohol, something she was previously opposed to doing. By the time Peter comes to stay at the ranch for the summer break, Rose has become an alcoholic. Phil and his men taunt Peter, and he sequesters himself in his room. He brings home a rabbit he has caught, delighting Rose, but she later discovers that Peter has killed and dissected it. In a clearing, Phil masturbates with a scarf belonging to his late mentor, Bronco Henry. Peter enters the clearing and finds a stash of magazines with Bronco Henry’s name on them depicting nude men.
