‘EO’ and the donkey that enchanted Cannes | movie review

Eo follows life through the eyes of the eponymous donkey as he experiences life and conflict in the human world

Eo doesn’t have a plot, little dialogue and, oh, the protagonist is a depressed donkey that wishes he was a horse, but this weird little movie is irresistible. Sure, its lead is a donkey, but it is as human as it gets. Constructed from our hero donkey’s journey away and back again, Eo meditates on loneliness, human nature, and empathy.

Full review coming soon.
