Η συμπεριφορά των εργαζομένων απέναντι στις αγελάδες είναι πιο ανθρώπινη από άλλες περιπτώσεις που έχω δει. Προφανώς είναι μια μικρή οικογενειακή φάρμα και όχι ένα τεράστιο εργοστάσιο όπου οι αγελάδες είναι ακίνητες σε όλη τη βασανισμένη ζωή τους.


Andrea Arnold, who made “American Honey” and “Fish Tank”, spent four years with Luma, a cow on an English dairy farm, and filmed her life without a word of narration. What you hear instead is the barn radio, playing all day long and filling the air with songs about longing, desire and love.
Only a few hours after Luma gives birth on an English dairy farm, her calf is taken away. The camera stays at the height of her eyes as her days pass between the milking parlour, the feed, the mud and the long hours of standing, while somewhere overhead a radio left on for the herd keeps playing. Nobody explains any of it, and you understand anyway.
