About This Movie

Friends (1972) is a fascinating documentary directed by Zoran Tadić that takes a deep dive into the life of an elderly woman living in a quiet country house. The atmosphere is intimate, almost meditative, as it captures her day-to-day existence with her only friend, a goat. The pacing feels leisurely, allowing viewers to soak in the simplicity and solitude of rural life. The themes of companionship and aging resonate throughout, highlighting the bond that can form between humans and animals. Practical effects are minimal but effective; you can sense the genuine connection between the woman and her goat. It's a unique exploration of loneliness and friendship that doesn’t rely on dialogue but rather the quiet moments that speak volumes.
