Campion returned to the forefront of the cinematic conversation after nearly three decades with her Netflix feature “The Power of the Dog,” a revisionist western starring Benedict Cumberbatch that explores the cowboy ideal’s toxic masculinity and closeted homosexuality. The film garnered 12 Oscar nominations, including one for best picture, and walked away with a single statuette honoring Campion as best director. Kiwi born and Australia based, she hadn’t received much awards-season love for her big-screen work since 1993’s “The Piano,” which also looks at repressed passion on the frontier — in this instance a mute woman in the mid-1800s transported to New Zealand for an arranged marriage — and won three Oscars, including one for Campion’s original screenplay. On TV, she received wide acclaim for her series “Top of the Lake” (2013-17), co-created with Gerard Lee.
