A close-up portrait of the daily lives of a pair of cows: told by way of some narrative-free, intimate POV photography, with plenty of close shot images, we follow the daily routine of these animals as they live what can only be described as mundane, boring lives - all with an ultimate purpose within the human food chain.

A few days in the life of a pair of cows. Told by way of some narrative-free, intimate POV photography, we follow the daily routine of these animals as they live what can only be described as mundane, boring lives - all with an ultimate purpose within the human food chain. I'm not sure this is the place to discuss the relative merits of the politics of farming - I am sure the images will provide for a plethora of views on the rights and wrongs of meat rearing and consumption. There are plenty of close shot images of them without offering us any judgements - they moo, but is that distress or because they are laughing after the person with the camera stood in a great big cow pat - we are invited to draw our own conclusions? As a piece of cinema, I found this really dull. It is far too long. The point it was making (I assume) was made pretty early on, and what follows merely serves to over emphasise what was pretty clear from the outset. If it stimulates debate, then great - but as a piece of cinema I found it dreary.
