OINK – LIFE IN EIGHT CHAPTERS

thoughtful, beautiful, poetic, genuinely original film”  The Guardian

 

OINK  looks at man’s relationship to pigs, exploring the confused mix of violence and sentimentality, from factory farming to pigs as pets. Veering wildly from a talking baby pig to live zeno-transplantation, Ralph Steadman’s cartoons for George Orwell’s Animal Farm to wild hogs being machine-gunned from a helicopter, the film is a mad bad journey from China via Brooklyn to Wiltshire reflecting on who we are and how we deal with the world around us.
