Despite the fact that this was mostly a lovely film, visually, in the acting, and script, there are some serious flaws.
There is a horrible scene in which a pig is butchered by by having its brains blown out with a gun, and we must witness the poor animal's suffering from up close. In addition, there is a dream sequence showing cattle being stunned on their way to slaughter, and in addition to all this, there is a close-up of a butchered rabbit which we have seen five seconds earlier in its cute furry bunny form.
This puts a terrible damper on an otherwise sensitive and beautiful film. Why do animals have to die for this?
