Cow with Andrea Arnold | Picturehouse

Felicity Beckett talks to Andrea Arnold, on Zoom, about her new film Cow.

Director Andrea Arnold (American Honey, Fish Tank) steps into the realm of documentary with Cow, a portrait of life on a dairy farm – and one cow whose journey she follows for several years. Luma’s day-to-day is captured almost from her perspective, following her through the calving process, the rearing of animals, intensive milking sessions, an all-too-brief grazing period and, eventually, the inevitable, dreaded end – all captured by Arnold’s deeply empathetic, unwavering gaze.
