A new poster and clip have arrived for the interestingly titled The Cow Who Sang A Song Into The Future. The film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and is the debut feature from the award-winning director Francisca Alegría.
Filmed in the extraordinary landscapes of Chile (by Inti Briones, the cinematographer for Sovereign release Song Without A Name), scored by Pierre Desprats, and featuring a lead performance from Mía Maestro (Hannibal) as Magdalena, a woman who, to the shock of her family, comes back from the dead, and discovers she has an important purpose to fulfil, the film is filled with striking images and quietly powerful moments.
The synopsis is as follows:
When thousands of fish die in a polluted river in southern Chile, Magdalena, a woman long-deceased, emerges amongst their lifeless bodies. Magdalena encounters her widowed husband, sending him into a state of shock and prompting the return of their daughter, Cecilia. Magdalena’s presence and her effect on the environment stirs curiosity and fear among her family. As the past comes into focus, mother and daughter meet an opportunity to change the future.
This one releases in UK cinemas from 24th March. Check out the poster above and the clip below.
