COW
O.V in English subtitled in Spanish
Winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival three times for Red Road, Fish Tank and American Honey respectively, British director Andrea Arnold fulfils her long-cherished wish to dedicate a non-fiction film to an animal. Cow delves into the life trajectory and work routine of a cow on a cattle farm to the point that the director herself confessed "not being prepared for the filmic and emotional connection she ended up forging with its star". A story that unleashes unexpected emotions and fully connects to a new appreciation of the surrounding environment. After all, you can also see the world from the perspective of a cow.
