Film Forum has set the US theatrical premiere of Louise Courvoisier’s “Holy Cow” on Friday, March 28.

HOLY COW had its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section, where it was awarded the festival’s Youth Prize.

It will be featured in the upcoming Rendez-Vous with French Cinema festival, screening at Walter Reade Theater on Saturday, March 8. A limited number of press tickets are available to this screening.

The film’s synopsis says: Reveling in his youth in the gorgeous rural Jura region of Eastern France, Totone has few worries and is content to party with his friends as the family dairy business hums along. But when calamity strikes, the under-disciplined 18-year-old finds himself in charge of the farm and his 7-year-old sister. A sun-drenched coming-of-age story cast with non-professionals from Jura (filmmaker Courvoisier’s home), HOLY COW follows Totone’s determination to win a local Comté cheesemaking competition (cash prize: €30,000), while he romantically pursues a competing farmer — whose bullying brothers are none-too-pleased — and clumsily steps up to adult responsibilities.
