For me this was a fun movie, lots of goodhearted laughs, full of love of life, and able to evoke connection and emotion. The French was quite easy to understand and the English subtitles were excellent. The urban and rural scenery in Algeria and France was beautiful. The simplicity of Fatah's life style was refreshing. It is a picaresque story. All of the encounters in the walk from Fatah's village in Algeria to Paris were interesting and engaging. In summary, an extremely well-made film, so good that I felt I had to let others know about it. By the way, Jacqueline is beautiful. Big brown eyes. Perfect body.

Fatah, a peasant from Algier needs to bring his cow Jacqueline to Paris for visiting a contest. So he does all to get her to Paris. On their way, Fatah and Jacqueline face all kinds of people. It's a kind story with philosophical touch. I specially liked the acting of Fatsah Bouyahmed, who acts Fatah. He gives the main character an intelligent, but also naiv touch. Over the most playtime, I was tied to the screen, because I wanted so hard, that he succeeds. In that case the route is the goal. Fine movie, I like it.

This review will be very short. With that said. While I loved this movie I found it frustrating that Fatah's Algerian community did not adequately prepare Fatah logistically for the LOOOOOONG journey. Walking from Marseilles to Paris with a cow and just a handful of belongings? I guess disbelief was indeed suspended. But I suppose that if Fatahs journey was made more comfortable / easier then there would be no story...

This here is not a complacent review out to be over-enthusiastic about the Algerian-French phenomenon, but rather one that looks at the genuine quality of this very refreshing, honest, solidly crafted and well inspired contemporary comedy. The plot is simple, and it's the adventure in the various places it takes the lead 'Fatah', the journey including the different people, sensitivities and emotions he discovers, the Algeria vs France contradictions and intrinsic antagonisms, and ultimately, his epiphany while being away from home in discovering more about himself from a newer perspective. The film overall is very well crafted, perfectly coherent and follows a very good rhythm. The jokes are good, the humor is lively and very culturally-charged and finally there are many little references/remarks/hints with implication and symbol that require a particular wit in understanding carefully laid throughout the playtime.

A nice story about an ingenious Algerian peasant and his beloved cow. After many letters, he is admitted at Pasris agricultural fair. The support of the comunity makes the trip to France possible. And, in large measure, this is all. The rest can be reduced at cultural cliches, easy humor, Lambert Wilson,Jamel Debbouze , the effort of Fatsah Bouyahmed to explore the possibilities of his character. You know the story and the end is so predictable. A very soft film , inspiring some smiles, remembering Algerian obsession in different tone. Nothing new but a reasonable film , remembering, maybe too much, others about similar theme.

I was ready for this to be goofy and weird but it was actually a really well made movie with interesting characters and dialogue that i laughed out loud over. I wish there were more movies like this.

I have a lot of respect and appreciation for French comedies, because the French have already shown that they have a sense of humor and know how to make people laugh in the comedies they make. So it was with "Taxi" in 1998, and much more recently with "Intouchables". And now, by mere chance, I stumbled upon this delightful film, where a friendly Algerian farmer seeks to fulfill an old dream: to go to Paris, with his dear Tarentaise cow named Jacquelline, and present her at the French Agricultural Fair. The film is nothing original, it is not a masterpiece, nor was it made with the idea of becoming one. It is, above all, a good piece of entertainment. It is a film that very happily mixes the almost childlike naivety of an innocent dream with a very tasteful, intelligent comedy, sometimes with slight touches of irony, very suitable for a family evening and that promises to please everyone, or almost all. The director, Mohamed Hamidi, knew how to give the characters (and particularly the protagonist) strength and sympathy, developing them properly and without wasting much time. The protagonist is very pleasant, friendly, and it is impossible not to like him, and his cow, apparently sweet and expressive. In between, other characters emerge, such as the protagonist's wife, the wealthy and haughty rival, a penniless aristocrat with a generous heart, and the brother-in-law who has been living in France for a few years. Fatsah Bouyahmed deserves a round of applause for the way he played her character. He gave Fatah a kindness and naïveté that are almost hard to believe, but that we like to feel in people who are really good. Lambert Wilson is also not far behind, with a very convincing and sympathetic interpretation of an educated and well-born man, but on whom luck has not smiled, and which shows quite well the difficulties through which the families of the old European nobility have passed, with the loss of privileges and the increasingly costly maintenance of their former family estates. The Moroccan Hajar Masdouki was also very good in his role. I confess that I found the relationship between the characters strange, as husband and wife, but being a very different culture from ours, I am willing to consider the strangeness I felt as a result of this "culture shock". I didn't like so much Jamel Debbouze and his character. I think, along with Abdellah Chakiri's, they are the most unsympathetic characters here, but Debbouze's was really poorly developed. Technically, the film is regular and effective. It doesn't have great effects or sets, but makes good use of the filming locations in France (although the film is set between France and Algeria). The cinematography is regular, but it works really well and the jokes are good, they're smart, they're very younger-appropriate. I especially liked a situation in which the main character ends up being induced to drink alcohol and makes some mistakes, which gives us an interesting and prophylactic message about the dangers of consuming these drinks. The camera work was good, the editing is adequate, and the pacing of the film is delightful. If there's one thing I didn't particularly like, it was the ending... I felt that the film ends suddenly and too quickly, and that there's a lack of a sequence that concludes the film more smoothly: the scenes of the character's return home could have been used. In that sense, rather than being included in the end credits.

Very sadJul 3, 2026

A peasant from remote village in Algeria gets an invitation to attend an international bovine show in Paris after years of applying for it. Although the villagers mock his devotion to his cow Jaqueline, they lend him money for the journey, as it is a village code to help the neighbours. Fatah and Jaqueline set off to Paris on foot after crossing the Mediterranean Sea. It's a bit like Ulysses in Homer's Odyssey; will he get there on time? The plot isn't original by any means, but the film conveys the old truth that the innocence and good humour can move even the most obdurate hearts.

"La Vache" is the story of Fatah, an Algerian farmer whose dream is to participate in the Paris International Agriculture Fair with his Tarentaise cow called Jacqueline.All his friends and neighbours are making jokes about this dream.But one day he receives the official invitation for his participation.After some debates the elders and friends of the village will help him for the costs of traveling to Paris.Then begins the real adventure of Fatah and Jacqueline !! As they have time enough they will join Paris on foot.Some incidents (a night in a karaoke, drinking pear liquor,a photograph of a kiss, an arrest) but also nice encounters , his stay in the house of the count, the love letter, the friendship and the solidarity of the people. And another important thing: the media, Fatha and Jacqueline begin to be famous on TV and YouTube: many people are waiting for them in Paris. I shall not escribe the end of the film. It's a story about encounters, about tolerance, friendship and solidarity. But it's also a story with quite a lot of humour and humanity: the philosophical talk of Fatah and the count about the life,the problems (Algeria should be champion of the world of the countries with problems) and the love (the first declaration of love for Naïma). I didn't know Fatsah Bouyahmed before this film, but it's a very good comedian. I enjoyed very much this story.

La Vache is a French comedy describing Fatah, an Algerian peasant from an obscure village, whose dream is to take his beloved cow Jacqueline to the Paris agricultural fair and competition. With the help of his fellow villagers, Jacqeline and Fatah cross the Mediterranean and start walking across France to Paris. Fatah meets many good people who help him and love his good humor and innocence, while he becomes a TV and Web celebrity and his progress is watched by millions in France, and also by his native village. Will he make the competition? Will Jacqueline win? You'll have to watch the movie to find out. I had a few laughs and enjoyed Fatsah Bouyahmed acting Fatah, but for the most of it one gets the feeling that one has seen this movie many times. In a nutshell it is blow-by-blow a parallel to The World Fastest Indian. Both heroes cross the sea (or the ocean) to get their beloved possession (the cow Jacqeline or the antique Indian motorcycle) for a world- class competition, both get financially helped by their compatriots, both meet with sometimes serious and often funny obstacles, both encounter romantic possibilities, both have to get to the competition at the last minute (and are denied entrance). Morevoer, both heroes project good humor, perseverance, and their non-blase naivete presents simple wisdom that puts the convoluted and frantic West way of life to true test. Despite these superficial similarities, The World Wld Fastest Indian is an intelligent, refined and meaningful humorous drama, while La Vache is Junior High level slapstick. Although Bouyahmed is endearing, he is a far shot from Anthony Hopkins. And last, but far from least, Jacqueline is just a cow (and not terribly attractive at that), whereas the Indian bike has a soul. As for photography, Fatah and his Cow walking through French cities is far from the beautiful, lyrical night scene of Vittorio De Sica walking his elephant through empty Rome in Hello Elephant. A harmless small movie, OK for early teens and those that would like to go back to that age.
