About This Movie

HEN (2018) offers a quiet, almost meditative glimpse into the lives of chickens on a rural farm. The documentary captures this village’s rhythms, where time feels caught in a loop. The cinematography is raw and unpolished, lending authenticity to the everyday struggles and fleeting moments of these birds. The pacing is slow, allowing viewers to settle into the atmosphere, almost like the chickens themselves. There’s a stark simplicity in how it portrays themes of nature, survival, and the passage of time. It’s distinctive in its focus on the mundane, avoiding the dramatic flair that often accompanies animal documentaries. It’s a contemplative piece that reflects on life, which might resonate with collectors who appreciate the less sensational narratives in film.
