First Cow

First Cow

In the Oregon Territory of the early 1800s, two castoffs-turned-friends-a trapping party cook (John Magaro) and a Chinese fugitive (Orion Lee)-furtively help themselves to the output of the dairy cow brought to the region by a rich landowner (Toby Jones). The baked goods they make with it become the town's hottest commodity... and unfortunately get the attention of their unwitting vendor. Kelly Reichardt's flavorful parable also stars René Auberjonois, Alia Shawkat, Ewen Bremner. 122 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
