About This Movie

So, 'The Fight For The Red Cow' is this quirky little comedy from '87 that really captures the whimsy of rural life. It’s got this over-the-top lawyer trying to scheme his way into a farm estate, with the help of a rather unsavory farmer, Esben. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm, I think. The whole premise revolves around this red cow, Rosa, and some yodeling, which is just bizarre enough to be delightful. Practical effects give it a nice touch, and the performances are, well, they have that classic earnestness you don’t see much anymore. It’s all a bit silly but that’s what makes it distinctive – it doesn’t take itself too seriously while tackling themes of good versus evil in a family-friendly way.
