I just rewatched Poor Cow today, and this is my third time, but honestly I feel so different this time...
Ken Loach’s raw storytelling still strikes hard, showing the struggles, the dreams, and the bittersweet reality of Joy’s (Carol White) life. But what touched me the most was Terence Stamp’s presence as Dave.
I know his screen time isn’t very long, but he leaves such a lasting impression. There’s this effortless charm in his youth, but also a tenderness in his performance that makes the film feel warmer amidst all the hardships it portrays. Watching him here, knowing it was one of his earliest works, feels both nostalgic and emotional 🥹
Poor Cow isn’t an easy film, it doesn’t sugarcoat life. Yet, that’s what makes it timeless. For me, this rewatch became more than just revisiting a classic, but it’s a way of remembering and cherishing Terence’s legacy. His light still shines through every frame he was in ❤️🩹
