Scrappy 18-year-old Totone is as irresponsible as they come, partying all night and sleeping it off all day. So his father’s sudden death is like a splash of cold water across his face, thrusting him into adulthood without warning. Now forced to care for his little sister, tend the failing family farm and somehow make a living, he decides that his magical “big fix” will come by winning a gold medal for the best Comt\u00e9 cheese at the next agricultural competition… and collecting the \u20ac30,000 grand prize. But attaining discipline, not to mention culinary excellence, is not nearly as easy as he thinks. It’s a little like his best buddy’s beloved stock car racing \u2014 sometimes you have to take a tumble or two before you can move forward. Louise Courvoisier<\/strong>‘s coming-of-age first feature, Holy Cow<\/em><\/strong>, illustrates that bumpy path to maturity in minute, heartfelt detail.<\/p>\n

Born in 1994, writer-director Louise Courvoisier<\/strong> grew up in the Jura region of France, before studying filmmaking at the Cin\u00e9fabrique in Lyon. Her student film, Mano a Mano<\/em> (2018) won the Cin\u00e9fondation Award in Cannes in 2019. That was followed by a second short, La Jarreti\u00e8re<\/em> (2019). Cast entirely with nonprofessional actors and shot in the director’s native Jura, Holy Cow<\/em><\/strong>, her first feature, premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it was honored with the Youth Award. It is presented at TAFFF prior to both its French and American releases.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/holy-cow.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
