E I E I OW

This nominee for Best International Film Oscar is a look at how humanity treats animals by using the perspective of the animal. In this case, Eo is both a work and a star donkey of a bankrupt touring circus that gets shut down. His true love is his co-star in his part of the show, Kassandra. When the authorities shut down the financially-strained circus, he is part of the confiscation, causing him to be torn away from Kassandra, upsetting him greatly. He escapes to go on a trek to find her. The movie focuses on him and his travails. I thought the perspective was refreshing, but it comes with a caveat that one experiences as the film progresses. I could not help getting caught up in the emotionalism that this displayed. I saw this a week ago and can not get it out of my head.

Trivia
Director Jerzy Skolimowski has said that the only time he ever cried while watching a movie was with Au hasard Balthazar (1966), which is about a mistreated donkey. The story heavily influenced EO (2022).

Goofs
When Kasandra gets off the motorbike, she hangs her helmet over the right rear-view mirror of the bike. Later, when Dude puts his helmet back on, Kasandra's helmet is still hanging there, but after the next cut, when Dude gets on the motorbike and starts the engine, Kasandra's helmet is now hanging over the left rear-view mirror. In the next scene, when Dude drives away, Kasandra's helmet is gone, but later, when she runs after him and gets on the motorbike, he hands her helmet to the back.
