Cannes on Friday (July 9) got deep insights into the lives of bovines with a documentary starring Luma, a photogenic cow.

Shot over four years on an English farm, the film by director Andrea Arnold - whose work includes arthouse favourites Fish Tank (2009) and Red Road (2006) - was cut from 200 hours of raw footage showing Luma's predictable routine but also highlights such as calving and sex.
