This documentary follows a rooster as he is prepared for and engages in a cockfight in Bali. There doesn't seem to be a single spoken word in the entire film, other than the shouts of spectators during the fight. The camera angles and cinematography in this piece a stunning. The editing flows at the perfect pace to place the viewer in the culture of the island. This film doesn't celebrate or condemn cockfighting, it simply shows the culture and ritual around this practice as it is. This film serves as an excellent example of telling a story through visuals alone. It's a excellent example for any film student to follow on how much can be conveyed without saying a word.
