A dairy cow strays into Cannes spotlight
NEW DELHI, July 14: In a striking departure from norm, a cow is under the spotlight in a 93-minute observational documentary in the Premiere line-up of the 74th Cannes Film Festival.
Titled “Cow”, the film, which views the world through the eyes of its bovine protagonist, is directed by Oscar-winning English filmmaker Andrea Arnold.
The film was in the making for seven years. The editing, according to the filmmaker, was a three-year start-and-stop process because she kept working on other projects.
The British auteur is a three-time winner of the Cannes Jury Prize. The films that earned her the prizes are “Red Road” (2006), “Fish Tank” (2009) and “American Honey” (2016). Her Academy Award win was for the 2005 short film “Wasp”.
