Usually when we think of movies about animals, we think of movies geared towards tykes. "Babe" was probably the best one, although most tend to be second- or third-rate.
Well, now we have one geared towards adults. Jerzy Skolimowski's Academy Award-nominated "Eo" is about a the trials and tribulations of a donkey. After the circus in which he performs gets shut down by animal welfare activists, Eo roams around, occasionally getting adopted, but never staying in one place very long.
The movie goes long periods without dialogue, to emphasize Eo's point of view, and it includes some absolutely horrific occurrences. All I can say is that is is one of the most beautiful and shocking movies that I've ever seen, and I recommend it to everyone. I certainly hope that the director gets to make at least one more movie.
