Our take

A dazzling fusion of past and present, a two-pronged surrealist story of cannibalism and courtship, and a blow to the bourgeoisie that still stings. Starring arthouse royalty Jean-Pierre Léaud & Pierre Clémenti, Pigsty is a cult marvel on moral decay from one of cinema’s great visionaries, Pasolini.
