ABOUT THE FILM
"18-year-old Totone spends most of his time drinking beer and partying in the Jura region in France with his group of friends.
That is until reality catches up with him when he has to take care of his 7-year-old sister and find a way to make a living."
— Watershed Summary"This coming-of-age tale from debut writer/director Louise Courvoisier features its fair share of darkness, but it’s shot through with compassion and humour. The film is a testament to resilience in the face of hardship, and a hymn to the Jura region where Courvoisier herself grew up."
★★★★ Alex Hopkins-McQuillan, Little White LiesFaveau gives an amazingly subtle performance; Totone doesn’t say much but his fragility and complexity are all there, humour too in the little shrug of a shoulder. Also terrific is Maïwene Barthelemy, as a teenage dairy farmer Totone falls in love with – and steals from. In what might be the most tender line of the film, she tells Totone, not unkindly: “Stop snivelling and pull your finger out.” Holy Cow is sentimental in the best of ways, with its warmth and hope in human nature.

Number one in the BBC’s 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century poll.
"Widely regarded as one of David Lynch's finest works, this luscious, surreal and unsettling neo-noir thriller is one of the true masterpieces of the new millennium.
"Blonde Betty Elms (Naomi Watts) has only just arrived in Hollywood to become a movie star when an an enigmatic brunette with amnesia (Laura Harring) stumbles into her life. As the pair fall in love, their search for the woman's identity leads them into a ever deepening mystery.
"Unashamedly bizarre, let yourself be swept away in Lynch’s seemingly unrelated vignettes that eventually connect in mysterious and unpredictable ways, as well as some surreal and darkly comic scenes and images all add to the cryptic narrative."
— Watershed summary"There is no explanation. There may not even be a mystery."
★★★★★ Roger Ebert, Chigago Sun-Times"Mulholland Drive is as brilliant and disquieting as anything Lynch has ever done."
★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
