Cow

The British Andrea Arnold ('American Honey') signs her first documentary in 'Vaca' in which she portrays the life of a cow named Luma who lives in Park Farm, Kent, England. According to the director, her intention was to portray how an animal lived for years, fleeing from idealizations or romanticizations of any kind. Although the first animal he thought of was a chicken, the figure of a dairy cow ended up stealing all his attention and when he finished it he warned the owners of the farm where he had been filming for years that the premiere of the film could have repercussions. negative.

Arnold tries to meddle as little as possible in the lives of the animals and let the camera portray their authentic experiences, accompanying the cows even in the process of giving birth, in the field on a summer day, at night, and in the that humans do not take center stage, although their voices do.
