No Name Game Farm

“I wouldn’t own a mean chicken,” says Glen Comeaux, who has been raising fighting birds for 43 years in southwest Louisiana. Cockfighting is legal there, and Friday night fights are Glen’s domain. “It’s a gentlemen’s sport,” he tells the viewer. Beautiful camerawork and nontraditional music help to shake off stereotypes, evoking a compassionate description of the birds and their caretakers in addition to graphic scenes of cockfighting. The film is really a character study of two men with plenty of heart under their tough exteriors. NK
