Everyone is talking about the new Oscar shoo-in The Power of the Dog, which is now streaming on Netflix. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as an ornery manly probably-closeted cowboy from a monied family living in Montana. The flick is making a splash online for its inclusion of Benedict Cumberbatch's penis! We wrote extensively about his frontal scene yesterday (in a post that includes some dazzling nude Cumberbatch GIFs if I do say so myself) but upon closer investigation, we realized that a great number of The Power of the Dog director Jane Campion's movies include frontal male nudity. Finally, a chick who can hang... dong!
Campion has been in the game for decades but hasn't directed tons of movies. Among her few titles, five include penises! These include her first full-length feature Sweetie, her Oscar-winner The Piano, the infamous Meg Ryan vehicle In the Cut, the acclaimed series Top of the Lake, and of course, The Power of the Dog. Let's dig a little deeper shall we?
In the harrowing 1989 family drama Sweetie, Tom Lycos plays the boyfriend of a woman who is emotionally abused by her erratic sister. Fun! Not really. But we're loving the fact that Tom is the spitting image of JFK Jr., and that in addition to seeing his toned and hairy JFK Jr. bod, we can even see his penis and balls as he chills in bed!
The acclaimed 1993 romance The Piano garnered three Academy Awards, including Best Writer for Jane Campion. Harvey Keitel was fifty-four years old when he took on the role of Holly Hunter's love interest. He took on the role, but he took off his clothes! This brazen full-frontal appearance is the stuff of Hollywood legend.
The 2003 erotic thriller In The Cut needs no introduction. America's Sweetheart Meg Ryan went against-type here to little interest, and the movie was a flop. And speaking of floppage, it happens to be one of the best places to see America's Daddy Mark Ruffalo in the buff-alo! He shows his hairy bush and daddy penis while in bed.
Top of the Lake is an acclaimed eight-time Emmy nominated Elisabeth Moss-led crime drama that takes place in Campion's native New Zealand. There's a lot to love here, as five different actors go nude in Top of the Lake. But Thomas M. Wrighttakes the cake by showing his tight bod and long penis in the woods.
Then you have The Power of the Dog, which just, ya. It's good people. You already know that Benedict Cumberbatch slathers mud on his penis while skinny dipping, and you already know that he has a huge fat ass that deserves a lot more attention than it gets. Campion is a champion of male nudity!
