Pig
Directed by Michael Sarnoski1h 32m2021
A truffle hunter who lives alone in the Oregon wilderness must visit Portland to find the mysterious person who stole his beloved foraging pig.
Our read: Pig (2021) reads as a sombre, slow-burn, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured.
