One Man and His Cow (France/Algeria, 2016)

[Edgy MD]

An Algerian naif, treated as the village fool in his hometown, sets off on a picaresque journey to the Paris International Agricultural Show, walking his (too-)beloved cow Jacqueline across France and encountering adventure along the way.

sounded like a French porn film by Edward Albee... i was disappointed to learn otherwise.

Give it a shot.

I recognized the protagonist's aggressive and abusive brother-in-law (the middle figure from the poster above) from Amelie, in which he played a gentle, simpleton grocer boy.
