Bull

"Selected for screening in Un Certain Regard, the parallel competition of the Cannes Film Festival, 'Bull' tells a story with a rare sensitivity. In the plot, a rebellious little girl, who has just seen her mother arrested, finds salvation from her sadness in the figure of her neighbor, an old cowboy who has already lived the peak of his profession. Thus, in a dry and hopeless scenario, the two characters help each other and find in each other the strength they need. Despite an orthodox narrative base, which often borders on the obvious, 'Bull' is one of those films that knows how to move. The debut director Annie Silverstein starts from this relationship and goes to a wounded society, with strong traumas. The friendship of the two protagonists here is only the tip of the iceberg. 'Bull', in the end, is a subtle tale about friendship in times of despair."
