Production year: 1985 Country : Spain Director: Luis García Berlanga

" The Cow" is a comedy set during the spanish civil war. During the war, on the front line, the loud speakers of the Nationalist side, announce the festivities in the nearest village, were they are going to celebrate a bullfight with lots of food and dance.

A group of five Republicans soldiers dress themselves in Nationalist uniforms to get into the enemy territory. They have a plan: steal the cow, kill it and take it back home to feed everybody. T**hey also want to spoil the enemy party .???** But instead of a neat **gateway** [getaway?] with the cow, it turns into a complete disaster with various comical situations... now they have to worry about how to get back to their own batallion before they are found out.

The film is a comical vision of a very serious subject. Written and directed by Luis García Berlanga in 1985, it was the first comedy made about the spanish civil war. Alfreado Landa as " the Brigade Castro " and José M. Sacristán as " Broceta" are two of the main characters, and they play their rolls brilliantly. Without a doubt, this is one of the funniest comedy I´ve seen in a long time. A must see!!
