Film at glór with Access Cinema: Holy Cow
Details
Join Munster Social Group at glór in Ennis for an evening of cinema featuring Holy Cow.
Eighteen-year-old Totone spends most of his time with his friends drinking and having fun. But when circumstances change, Totone must become more responsible and find the means to provide for himself and his young sister. He sets his sights on making the best Comté cheese, so that he can win the top prize of €30,000 at the regional agricultural competition.
Louise Courvoisier’s impressive first-time feature has been an unexpected hit in her native France. Drawing on her own upbringing in the rural Jura region where Holy Cow is set, and featuring a cast of mostly young non-actors, the result is a joyful and authentic story of one young man’s coming of age. A little gem of a film.

Reviews:
- “★★★★ Powered along by youthful exuberance, earthy sex scenes and keen naturalism, Holy Cow is a box-office sensation in France, where it outperformed Anora and The Brutalist.”
The Irish Times - ★★★★ … a social-realist drama that is the opposite of grim and miserable in its warm and often funny telling of a coming-of-age story …”
