PIGSTY (1969)
PIER PAOLO PASOLINI
Plot
Two dramatic stories. First a young cannibal, guilty of patricide, is condemned to be torn to pieces by wild beasts. In the second story the young son of a post-war German industrialist is off to join the farm's pigs because he doesn't like humans. A savage parody of Godard, Resnais and Pasolini himself, ironically chronicling the 'existential anguish' of the children of the bourgeoisie. It features Léaud as a mystic youth whose being finally merges with 'nature', he gets eaten by the pigs he loves. 'Porcile' is not only an exquisitely revolting satire, it is also Pasolini's most fascinating piece of cinema........so say the 'reviewers' anyway.
