As the writer/director of Pig, I just wanna say thank you for all the time and thought you put into this! Was a pleasure to watch. Glad you enjoyed it!

Eurydice was the wife of Orpheus who he tried bringing back to life.

Nicolas cage makes every movie he is in better, he is a blessing in disguise

Nick Cage offering his talents to new directors or interesting projects is so cool. Mandy, Willy's Wonderland and Pig are great examples of the Nick Cage renaissance

Nick Cage is a genuinely great actor, when he's directed properly he honestly can be the best thing in whatever he's in.

I actually find this film very hopeful. It's depressing for sure, but because it's so honest about grief and pain, the start of the healing at the end feels honest as well. I was expecting Nic's character to kill himself at the end, and instead sitting with the last thing his wife left him in the light of the sun streaming down on him felt like the start of something new, that it is possible to go on with your life, even after having lost so much.

Because of all the crazy and silly movies he’s been in, we often forget that Nick is actually a really talented actor. With a good director and plot, he can be amazing. And this movie is pretty cool as well.

13:11 The fact the restaurant is called Eurydice is symbolic bc it reminds me of the greek story of Eurydice where she had passed away and her husband Orpheus goes through literal hell to get her back, mimicking rob looking for his pig after his wife passed bc he cant deal with loss. worse part is they both lose who they were looking for despite their journeys

Let's be honest, our boy has been on a roll with these "Unexpected Nicolas Cage Masterpieces"👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

spoiler warning

To me, this movie was representative of the five stages of grief. Denial being right after he wakes up, he’s still whistling for the pig to come back to him even after she’s been taken. Anger, when he goes to the underground to take a beating. Bargaining when he tries to speak with the father to get the pig back the first time, then when he’s collecting the ingredients to make the meal. Depression when he learns that she’s gone, the heartbreak of him falling to the ground and sobbing. And at the end, acceptance when he washes off the blood from his journey and cleanses himself, then returns home back to the cabin and finally listens to the whole tape of his wife’s voice.

Of course this is just my interpretation and there are many others to be had! I absolutely loved this movie, my partner and I watched it on our anniversary night only like two nights ago and this is now one of his favorite films, this and The Green Knight (which I didn’t care for too much).

I don’t usually like “artsy” films as I call them, but this one knocked it out of the ball park.

I'm so glad to see Nicolas Cage in a genuinely good movie. Hope he gets an Oscar XD

the movie about "what if john wick was a retired depressed chef with a pet pig" we didn't know we needed

Nicholas cage constantly makes everything he touches great.  He is a single actor that can carry a bad movie to make it great.

Uhm... Are you telling me this is the "culinary" John Wick equivalent. Protagonist was once apart of a secret organization, leaves, loses his spouse. His pet is stolen/killed and now he must go avenge his pet!  Ha. The similarities are great. I still look forward to watching this, it looks fantastic.

We need to remember that Nicolas Cage is a respected, Oscar winning actor. Say what you will about his recent DTV output, films like Mandy and Pig prove that when he's presented with the right script, one that he actually cares about, he will give his all in a way that he doesn't (despite how over the top he admittedly is) to the random trash he's usually offered.

With Pig, I really hope Nic has finally begun his renaissance and will start to choose quality projects again.

Mandy, Color Out of Space and Pig. The greatest trilogy ever made.

Great point that Nic isn't selling out like Bruce Willis and Steven Seagal and others I'm sure. He gives it his all no matter what and that in itself should be applauded.

I can’t be the only one who bawled like a baby when Robin finds out his pig died. I haven’t been so devastated by the death of an animal in film since... I can't remember.

Nick cage actually puts his all into every single thing he does, lots of actors do goofy shit and just seem bored, uninterested or genuinely like they purely needed the money.

"The more people there are, the worse things become." That's an accurate quote for all of earth's history.
