Just, literally ten minutes ago, finished watching Julio Medem's "Vacas"; very much a moviemaker's movie, a simple yet engaging plot and picture, comparable to say "The Seventh Seal".
I like it for it's obvious cultural and stylistic differences to UK and US movies, it has some brutal realism but doesn't dwell on any one particular theme or scene for at all long.
It is markedly not at all predictable and raises some pertinent questions regarding family values, gender dominance, and the priorities of the individual.
Well shot and easy viewing, just don't be a reactionary.
