Pigsty
I killed my father, I ate human flesh, and I quiver with joy.
Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini
Produced by IDI Cinematografica, I Film Dell'Orso
A provocative, surreal dual narrative exploring transgression, alienation, and the rejection of human society through grotesque imagery and philosophical provocation.
Two dramatic stories. In an undetermined past, a young cannibal (who killed his own father) is condemned to be torn to pieces by some wild beasts. In the second story, Julian, the young son of a post-war German industrialist, is on the way to lie down with his farm's pigs, because he doesn't like human relationships.
