FIRST COW
Otis “Cookie” Figowitz (John Magaro) finds himself in this uncompromising wooded land having signed on to be a cook for a couple of hard to please trappers. While foraging for truffles he finds King-Lu (Orion Lee) hiding in some bushes, naked and hungry. He’s been trying to outrun some Russian trappers who he unintentionally wronged. Cookie feeds and shelters him for the night, unbeknownst to his rough companion/employers. King-Lu leaves undetected in the morning. The two meet up again later, Cookie now unemployed. The two soon strike up a bond of friendship.

Here’s a Taste of: FRANCES HA
I walked into this film distracted, I was worried I’d just spent too much on lunch, (although an enjoyable one at Pizzeria Stella (post to come) and by the fact that I was supposed to meet up with someone in the lobby before the film about other Tinsel & Tine business, but realized my last text to him didn’t go thru, right as my phone battery was going into the red. The movie’s starting, but I have to find a place to charge my phone and hope no one steals it from the back of the theater. Normally, such circumstances would have me somewhat detached from what I’m watching, instead…
