COW

COW (2021)

Directed by Andrea Arnold

“This film is an endeavour to consider cows. To move us closer to them. To see both their beauty and the challenge of their lives. When I look at Luma, our cow, I see the whole world in her.” – Andrea Arnold

Academy Award-winning director Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank) returns with COW, a compelling portrait of the life of a dairy cow called Luma that marks her first foray into feature-length documentary filmmaking. 

This intimate and observational work chronicles its subject’s daily life, from grazing in green fields to giving birth, making milk and everything in between. A profoundly empathetic and unexpectedly moving contemplation of life and our relationship with animals, this is pure cinema shot through with Arnold’s typically vivacious energy.

The film is also available with Closed Captions.
