Burrowing in mud, looking for worms, flicking away insects – "Gunda" shares the experiences of several farm animals, the kind we eat every day: a mother sow (the eponymous Gunda), two ingenious cows, and a scene-stealing, one-legged chicken. Kossakovsky movingly re-calibrates our moral universe, patiently following the farm creatures' lives to uncover the secret world of their emotions. A kind, gentle reminder of the inherent value of life and the mystery of all animal consciousness, including our own.
"A unique, humanist look at farmland's animal kingdom that refuses Disney's anthropomorphism or Planet Earth's mystification, "Gunda" is visionary filmmaking at its best. Avoiding didactic activism, Kossakovsky's artistic eye observes the harmony of nature and calls upon our powers of compassion to take a long, hard and grounded look at the singular existence of the faceless animals that make up our daily 'bread'." (Andrei Tănăsescu)
