Cow/Slow Cinema: Feminism, Time, and Labour (Cáit Murphy) video essay

Cow/Slow Cinema: Feminism, Time, and Labour from Cáit Murphy on Vimeo. (6 oct 2022) 6'06"

Video essay about Andrea Arnold's documentary COW (2021) and its representation of time, feminism, motherhood, and labour under capitalism. An important addition to slow cinema films like Akerman's Jeanne Dielman and Bresson's Au hazard Balthazar (1966), COW also continues Arnold's social realist style and emphasis on the corporeal and "creaturely" as analysed by Amber Jacobs (2016).

COW is now showing on MUBI.

This video is for critical, fair-use purposes only.

Song featured: "Milk" by Garbage in COW trailer.
