As humans have moved farther and farther away from the animal world, what have we lost? This film is or should soon be available for streaming. It was selected for the New York Film Festival. "A prodigious pig, a one-legged chicken and a herd of lissome cattle are at the center of this extraordinary, palpably intimate look at the everyday lives of a group of animals. Working in black-and-white and with nimble, fluid cameras that sometimes skim the ground, the Russian filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky shows a world that most people never notice or care to understand, one that respects other living creatures and sees, really sees, their distinct behaviors and relationships. To an extent, the movie reflects the issues that John Berger broached in his 1970s essay "Why Look at Animals?," which mournfully weighed what has been lost as humans have increasingly severed their ties with animals. "Everywhere animals disappear," Berger wrote. "In zoos they constitute the living monument to their own disappearance." (M.D.)" NYT
