Hen (15)
A determined Leghorn chicken – played by eight real-life chickens named Eszti, Szandi, Feri, Enci, Eti, Enikő, Nóra, and Anett – flees her wretched life on a Greek industrial farm in cult director György Pálfi’s (Taxidermia) adroit, impressive Hen. Told entirely from the perspective of its avian protagonist, Hen follows a chicken who escapes an industrial farm only to find herself navigating the pecking order of a crumbling seaside restaurant in Greece. As she fights to protect her eggs, she becomes an unwitting witness to the complex human lives around her as the restaurant is caught up in greed, smuggling, and the migrant crisis. “. . . an amazing feat of animal training and deft editing, and it’s all so weirdly cheering.” The Guardian.
