Cow
Directed by Andrea Arnold
Produced by BBC Film, Doc Society
An unflinching, intimate documentary that observes the mundane routines of dairy cows with philosophical weight, inviting viewers to confront the lives of animals destined for the food chain.
A close-up portrait of the daily lives of a pair of cows: told by way of some narrative-free, intimate POV photography, with plenty of close shot images, we follow the daily routine of these animals as they live what can only be described as mundane, boring lives - all with an ultimate purpose within the human food chain.
