One Man and His Cow disrupts Eurocentric storytelling patterns by centering an Algerian protagonist in Paris. However, the film's diversity is limited by its narrow focus on a single male figure, which leaves gaps in gender and LGBTQ+ representation. Despite this, the film offers a meaningful exploration of cultural the way different parts of someone's identity overlap and the outsider's perspective.
