The Cow (1968)

Overview

A beauty-filled look at cows on a peaceful day in the pasture. Natural sounds, without narration. A little girl lolls in the meadow, watching cows sniff the grass, jaws grinding, tails swishing. Colors and shapes of bodies, textures of noses and hides. A new-born calf, licked clean by its mother, tries to stand on collapsible legs and searches out its first meal. “The essence of cowness is fixed forever in the mind and heart of the viewer” (Los Angeles Times).
