Ratings
Film expert Inna Gens characterizes Cattle Keeping as “a work full of cruelty and despair, [where] hatred reigns, ” with an ominously hopeless ending . According to Gens, the film contrasts children and adults: children pity the captive American, feed him, adults hate not only him, but also each other. [one]
