| Synopsis:
What could be more bleak than living in a linesman's
cabin lost in tha boundless russian Steppe? Even a
routine event like the birth of a calf becomes a great
miracle for a young boy's soul. The tragic lyricism
of Andrei Platonov, one of the greatest Russian writers,
is turned into a psychologically refined screen world
with a strange authenticity. The cow is a film by
Alexander Petrov, one of the leaders of Soviet film
animation. |
