gunda was shot in very elegant black and white.ent hand—held, you know, very up close and personal and a lot of looking straight into the cow's eyes. i have to say it's very well done and very upsetting. ah, i was about to say, is it upsetting? it is. it absolutely is. but here's the thing that is important about it. it's not a film which tells you what to think about this or lectures you or anything, but what it does is it says if you are partaking of the dairy industry you need to be aware of how it works, you need to know where the produce that's on your table comes from. and i think the thing that is really powerful about this is, without lecturing you or without seeming like it's banging its drum, it tells its story in its visual images and itjust says, 0k, look, this is what it is. you make of this what you will. i know one film critic friend of mine who was in floods of tears for a lot of it. not everybody will feel the same way. i think that's one of its strengths. is that it is, "here it is, you make your own decisions." y
