Mad Cows? What about Mad Cowgirl?

Director Gregory Hatanaka's twisted thriller stars Sarah Lassez as Therese, a health inspector whose progressively delusional psyche leads her on a surreal -- and bloody -- odyssey. To cope with her marital split, Therese takes up with a slimy televangelist (Walter Koenig), indulges her appetites for sex and beef, and obsesses over a kung fu TV show. Meanwhile, her meat packer brother (James Duval) may have infected her with mad cow disease.





When I saw glimpses of the video showing downed cows being further tormented by those who take care of them until they are sliced and diced for the palates of those craving dead animal flesh and don't care how it gets to those nice neat packages in the store, my mind immediately went to a political movie made not all that long ago, called Mad Cowgirl. See what you can find when you sign up for netflix? Without saying much more the cow mistreatment wraps itself in the arms of Mad Cowgirl in a package of another sort. Open your eyes readers and take a look at what you condone and what you are willing to ignore for your appetites.
