Words just cannot express all the astounding beauty and emotion that are displayed in all the shorts made by the Russian animator Aleksandr Petrov: In all his shorts, even the most ordinary things from everyday life can be turned into something exquisite through the magnificent animation style of this filmmaker.
"The Cow", his first short, is not the exception of this rule: In less than ten minutes, and almost without dialogue, Petrov is able to make an incredibly captivating tale, with an almost dream-like atmosphere, but which also has an intense feeling of sadness and nostalgia in every scene. The ending of this short is particularly heart-breaking, but at the same, is inspiring and fulfilling.
I loved this short. It is a strong beginning for the equally strong filmography of Aleksandr Petrov, who is, in my opinion one of the greatest animator who ever lived.
