FIRST COW, from acclaimed filmmaker Kelly Reichardt:

A captivating portrait of friendship set against the early American west, Reichardt has crafted a moving and critically acclaimed vision of the origins of the American Dream. Starring John Magaro, Orion Lee, and Toby Jones. 

Kelly Reichardt once again trains her perceptive and patient eye on the Pacific Northwest, this time evoking an authentically hardscrabble early nineteenth century way of life. A taciturn loner and skilled cook (John Magaro) has traveled west and joined a group of fur trappers in Oregon Territory, though he only finds true connection with a Chinese immigrant (Orion Lee) also seeking his fortune; soon the two collaborate on a successful business, although its longevity is reliant upon the clandestine participation of a nearby wealthy landowner’s prized milking cow. From this simple premise Reichardt constructs an interrogation of foundational Americana that recalls her earlier triumph Old Joy in its sensitive depiction of male friendship, yet is driven by a mounting suspense all its own. Reichardt again shows her distinct talent for depicting the peculiar rhythms of daily living and ability to capture the immense, unsettling quietude of rural America. FIRST COW stars John Magaro, Orion Lee, Toby Jones, and Ewen Bremner
