Details on Aurochs, the fabled beasts from writer/director Benh Zeitlin’s dramatic film Beasts of the Southern Wild, are revealed in this behind-the-scenes featurette. Released by Fox Searchlight, Beasts of the Southern Wild is one of the few 2012 films that’s already generating Oscar buzz.
The Plot:
In a forgotten but defiant bayou community cut off from the rest of the world by a sprawling levee, a six-year-old girl exists on the brink of orphanhood. Buoyed by her childish optimism and extraordinary imagination, she believes that the natural world is in balance with the universe until a fierce storm changes her reality. Desperate to repair the structure of her world in order to save her ailing father and sinking home, this tiny hero must learn to survive unstoppable catastrophes of epic proportions.
