first cow

Cinema Wednesdays - Alice Bruxelle

While more and more filmmakers are succumbing to the allure of the big platforms and their efficient, if somewhat repetitive, aesthetic, American director Kelly Reichardt draws her strength from her independence. Each of her minimalist, low-budget films is a tesserae that, laid end to end, forms a mosaic of seamed, modest American history. Her seventh feature film, First Cow released in Swiss cinemas on June 9, takes place at the beginning of the Conquest of the West.
