Holy Cow15

Directed by Louise Courvoisier | France | 2024 | 1h 32m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Clément Faveau, Maïwene Barthelemy, Luna Garret, Mathis Bernard, Dimitri Baudry

After his father’s tragic passing, 18-year-old Totone suddenly finds himself responsible for both his younger sister and their struggling family farm in France’s Jura region. Determined to secure their future, he takes an unconventional gamble by entering a competition to produce the region’s best Comté cheese, with a €30,000 prize at stake. A surprise audience favourite at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, this heartfelt coming-of-age drama shines with its delicate direction and remarkably authentic performances from its young, non-professional cast.

🏆 Winner of the Cannes Un Certain Regard Youth Prize.

Reviews

‘A moving and humorous coming-of-age story which is told with brio, avoiding the usual divots of social realism misery.’

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
