First Cow
Synopsis
When ‘Cookie’, a hired cook, discovers Lu, a Chinese immigrant-turned-fugitive, in the woods, he offers his tent as a safehouse. An off-chance reunion later bonds the two further, as they try to scheme their way to a better life. What follows is an enduring tale of friendship between two gentle men, propelled by kindness under unforgiving circumstances, amidst the promise of the American dream.
In her seventh offering since 2016’s award- winning Certain Women, Kelly Reichardt offers an enthralling tale of the little guy versus the big guy, whilst highlighting the intimacy in male camaraderie.
