Audience Member Pasolini's drama possess a strong sense of both, humor and commentary, told in the particular way only the director could be capable of, with great poetic-like dialogue, and strong-thought-provoking themes all over the two stories presented, about cannibalism and human relationships, and while the whole flick could be hardly digestible for most audiences, for the small-but-self-aware section that won't mind the twisted-raw depictions over the director's ideologies, this will represent quite the experience.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not exactly a difficult film to appreciate, but perhaps a difficult film to warm up to. It features two alternating plot lines. In the first one, Pierre Clémenti and Franco Citti lead a tribe of rampaging cannibals around the desolate countryside of Mount Etna until they are captured and ritually destroyed by the Church. The second plot starts out a bit like a late 60s Godard film, with Jean-Pierre Léaud and Anne Wiazemsky have long discussions avout Marxist theory. It soon evovles into a fierce satire of bourgeoise complicity. It doesn't seem like the two plots are specifically related even thematically, but they fit together in an emotional sense. This is a very angry film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Two stories, one set in the past about a young cannibal and another in the present, about a rich young man's hate for human relationships. Pigsty is among Pasolini's most enigmatic films, and also perhaps his most difficult one. Its unhurried pace and detatched storyline makes it pretty difficult to watch, but the film has an underlying dark satire feels pretty inspired.
