PINK EIGA Sneak Peeks. Review A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn is a film of bittersweet sentiments, which credibly deals with loneliness, greed and the coming to terms with old age. Director Goto s strength is that he never overplays these sentiments, leaving the film to offer subtle depictions of various human emotions, which is helped out in no small part by a terrific ensemble who play their roles succinctly. It s indeed the simplicity of the film which allows it to work as well as it does, and though it employs a few common, or even clichéd, narrative devices to depict its urgency, its helmed by a man who understands his material and uses it to create a believable amount of pathos. Likewise, Hajime Oba s score is beautifully poignant, while Masahide Iioka s photography keeps things visually alluring, with the Japanese countryside providing a pleasant change of pace. A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn is a touching film that carefully deals with real issues. The constraints - or rather reputation - of the genre means that it may never reach the wider audience it perhaps deserves, but at the very least it s out there, so those seeking a little arthouse gem for the time being need look no further. --Kevin Gilvear, DvDtimes.co.uk A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn is a film of bittersweet sentiments, which credibly deals with loneliness, greed and the coming to terms with old age.
