I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2025 MOVIE CHALLENGE
WEEK 13: A FILM FROM 2021
Description: A truffle
hunter (Nicolas Cage) who lives alone in the Oregon wilderness must return to
his part in Portland in search of his beloved foraging pig after she is kidnapped.
Review: Nicolas Cage is either very over the top or really subdued. For “Pig” it’s
the latter. It’s a fairly quiet film with a meandering style. Cage plays Rob, a
man who was once the best chef in town, but now lives a reclusive life in the
woods of Oregon. There he lives, along with his pig, who helps him search and root
for truffles. But then his quiet life gets disturbed and his pig gets stolen.
Rob has to go back to the city and find her.
In core the film is about
learning to care about something and not fall prey to hypocrisy. I absolutely loved
this film. It’s a slow film, no action, just a man looking for his beloved pig.
And Nicolas Cage is wonderful. His rage is now very contained and it works
perfectly for “Pig”.
Rating: 4/ 5
