The Happy Cow is one of those documentaries that transports you to a world where the relationship between humans and animals is both tender and heartbreaking. Rune, the central figure, embodies an unwavering commitment to a way of life that feels increasingly threatened. The pacing has this contemplative rhythm; it allows you to soak in the landscapes and the quiet moments of connection. There's a palpable tension between tradition and the encroaching modernity, especially with EU regulations looming overhead. The cinematography is quite striking, capturing not just the beauty of nature but also the raw emotions of the people involved. You can feel the weight of their sacrifices, and it really shakes you up in a way that lingers long after the credits roll.
