About the film, Holy Cow (15):
Dir. Louise Courvoisier, France, 2024, 90 mins. In French with English subtitles. Cast. Clément Faveau, Luna Garret, Maïwene Barthelemy, Dimitry Baudry, Armand Sancey Richard, Lucas Marillier.
Holy Cow is a coming-of-age story set in the heart of the Jura, a rural region known for its dairy cows, agricultural festivals, and delicate Comté cheese – and where Totone spends his youth, mainly just hanging out with his friends. But after his father's tragic accident, Totone will have to stand on his own two feet and support himself and his little sister. To this end, he decides to make the most delicate cheese and to hold his own against tough local competition.
An unexpected audience hit at last year's Cannes Film Festival and winner of two Césars including Best First Film, Holy Cow excels thanks to its graceful direction and authentic performances from its young non-actors. First-time director Louise Courvoisier tells a familiar story from the region where she grew up with a heartfelt honesty and introduces audiences to its cheese-making culture.
