About French Film Festival: Holy Cow

The countryside is nice enough, but it can be a tough place in which to grow up. Take, for example, 18-year-old Totone (Clement Faveau), a mop-haired lad from the rural Jura region in south-east France. All he really wants to do is have fun with his mates, get drunk and get laid, but then his father dies and he is left with a failing farm and a little sister to look after.

The debut feature of Louise Courvoisier, who also grew up on a farm in the Jura, Holy Cow is a likeable coming-of-age tale that reeks of grilled sausages, sweat and diesel oil.
