Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
A truffle hunter who lives alone in the Oregonian wilderness must return to his past in Portland in search of his beloved foraging pig after she is kidnapped.
Eschewing the manic, maximalist register that has become his métier, Nicolas Cage delivers a haunted meditation on grief and loss in Michael Sarnoski’s anguished thriller. Quietly subverting revenge-movie tropes, Pig patiently hangs up its knives to reveal a soulful paean to acceptance and change.
