Jane Campion’s ‘Top of the Lake’: More Than Just a Police Procedural

By Jason Bailey on

Top of the Lake is a TV miniseries about a sexually abused 12-year-old girl who subsequently disappears, and the hard-case police detective who is trying to find her. Based on that logline, you’d think you’ve seen it before, and in the most basic, shallow, cosmetic sense, you’d be right: there are tough scenes in interrogation rooms, police strategy meetings with PowerPoint presentations, and plenty of shots of our protagonist gazing at walls covered with pictures of the missing girl. But there is much more to the series than that, which isn’t surprising considering its pedigree — this is the work of Jane Campion, the Oscar-winning writer/director of The Piano and An Angel at My Table. The idea that she would be interested in doing a mere police procedural is silly, and while she doesn’t cheat on the mystery elements, they’re also used as window dressing for themes that are far more compelling. … Read More

Elisabeth Moss Discusses Her Rumored Departure from ‘Mad Men’

By Caroline Stanley on

Earlier this month, an offhand remark that Mad Men’s Jared Price made during an interview left us worried that Peggy’s recent exit from Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce could possibly signal the end of Elisabeth Moss’ time on the show — which would be a horrible thing! We wondered if Matt Weiner had lost his mind. Then that lovely movie theater run-in between Peggy and Don in the season finale helped put our minds at ease; even if she’s no longer at the agency, it looks as if Peggy will remain a significant figure in the Mad Men universe because of their connection. A new GQ interview with Moss provides further confirmation of this fact. … Read More

Elisabeth Moss Could Be Off ‘Mad Men’ for Good

By Judy Berman on

The big, shocking news on Mad Men this week was (spoiler alert) that Lane Pryce kills himself after Don dismisses him from Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce  — and since this isn’t American Horror Story, that means a farewell to the actor who plays him, Jared Harris. So, Harris has been making the rounds, doing exit… Read More
