"A determined Leghorn chicken – played by eight real-life chickens named Eszti, Szandi, Feri, Enci, Eti, Enikő, Nóra, and Anett – flees her wretched life on a Greek industrial farm in cult director György Pálfi’s (Hukkle, Taxidermia) impressive latest film.
Comic, thrilling and emotive Hen it’s shot from its feathered heroine’s point of view as she escapes certain dangers and finds her way to a crumbling seaside restaurant. At first it seems a place of refuge, but there, she quickly becomes witness to the human tragedies unfolding around her, including the cruely of the migrant crisis.
Drawing parallels between people’s ill-treatment of animals and each other, Hen recalls other creature led titles like EO, Gunda and Cow (all previous Studio 74 features) in its effective and compelling use of an innocent animal protagonist. Hen has real emotion and personality and sheda a light on broader systemic issues.
