Jane Campion responds to Sam Elliott's criticism of her film

Jane Campion isn't afraid to take on Sam Elliott.

After the actor's harsh criticism of his film

last month, which he criticized for an unrealistic vision of the American West by a non-American, the director had chosen to remain discreet.

But it's over!

Asked by

about this "clash", the New Zealand filmmaker replied curtly.

“I'm sorry, he reacted a bit like a mourner.

He's not a cowboy, he's an actor.

The West is a mythical space and there is plenty of room to interpret it.

I think it was a bit sexist [as a reaction],” she said.

First a woman

Jane Campion continues, still more annoyed, by asserting that some of the greatest westerns in the history of cinema were made by an Italian filmmaker, Sergio Leone, who did not even shoot them in the United States.

“When you think of the number of incredible westerns made in Spain by Sergio Leone.

I consider myself a creator.

I think he sees me as a woman first or something lesser, and I don't appreciate that…” she added.

Anyway, the vision of Sam Elliott does not seem to be the majority in the world of cinema since

was acclaimed at the BAFTAs this Sunday, with a trophy for Best Film and Best Director, and he is among the favorites for the Oscars, which will take place at the end of the month.
