Holy Cow
(“Vingt Dieux”)
Winner – Youth Award – Un Certain Regard – Cannes Film Festival
After the tragic death of his father, 18 year old Totone is thrust into the unexpected and very adult role of looking after his younger sister and their failing family farm in the Jura section of France. He assumes even more responsibility when he enters a cash competition for the best Comte cheese made in this western part of the French Alps. A “verité” look at the hardscrabble life of French agriculture, it is simultaneously a coming of age story and above all an ode to the love of cheese.
“The unpredictable but seemingly unlimited energy of youth fuels Louise Courvoisier’s debut, which also nails a teenage outlook on rural life. An earthy mix of adventure romp and coming of age experiences, Courvoisier’s film is ripe with feeling.” – Amber Wilkinson, Eye For Film
