8. The Cow Who Sang A Song Into The Future
The Cow Who Sang A Song Into The Future makes for an impressive juggling act of story and tone, following a fractured family whose deceased matriarch (Mía Maestro) mysteriously returns from the dead and finds the world she once knew far removed from what she remembers.
Though this sounds simple - if bizarre - enough, Francisca Francisca Alegría's genre-twisting drama also doubles as an environmental parable about the way humans have damaged the world around them. Magical realism and domestic drama, The Cow Who Sang balances big ideas with intimate human relationships.
Grounded in its surreal imagery by a silent but profound Maestro, who imbues the film's various themes with palpable heartbreak, joy and love, The Cow Who Sang A Song To The Future won't be for everyone given its twisty fantasy and slow-burn intensity, but it will regardless leave you in awe of Alegría's bold and singular vision.
