\n

In Pig, Nicolas Cage is a truffle hunter living alone in the wilds of Oregon, he must return to his past in Portland, in search of his beloved little pig who has been kidnapped.<\/h2>\n

Michael Sarnoski is an American director and screenwriter who makes his feature directorial debut with \u201cPIG,\u201d starring Nicolas Cage, Alex Wolff and Adam Arkin.<\/p>\n

Criticism<\/h3>\n

Nicolas Cage began his career making films with non-commercial directors, but who over time turned out to be cinematic geniuses, who captured boundless imagination and freedom, such as David Lynch, Francis Ford Coppola, or the Cohen brothers. After reaching the peak of his fame, he made innumerable commercial films, with a huge budget, a lot of box office, but less quality. Now that he has finished that period. Nicolas Cage returns to his origins, with films like PIG<\/em>. That they do not follow an established scheme, and that they are not morally correct with the ideas that circulate at the moment. PIG’s script exudes creative freedom, although its style was already embodied in the Cohen Brothers’ films in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Nicolas Cage plays a lonely truffle hunter who lives with his pig, and who has been out of touch with society for 10 years. Isolated, without taking care of his hygiene and his physical image, it seems that the title PIG refers to him. In a past life he was Portland’s most famous chef, and in chef circles, he is a living myth.<\/p>\n

Returning to Portland, he enters the dark world of chefs, who follow particular rules. They meet in secret places to have clandestine cook fights. It is a world similar to that of the mafia, but instead of thugs with guns, there are chefs who prepare exquisite unique dishes, and in which he is no longer a nobody, but everyone has a deep respect for him. In these 10 years of solitude, he has acquired his own wisdom, and through the word he has the power to reach the essence of the other person’s soul, their desires, their fears, and see beyond appearances, leaving his astonished interlocutors without knowing what to say. And all this without being able to take a shower and get ready, he enters the best restaurants or mansions like a real pig.<\/p>\n

In PIG it is shown that the human being is the creator of realities. That the good, the bad, and the rules of life are created by us, and there are as many realities and morals as there are groups of people.<\/p>\n

It’s a different movie because it doesn’t follow the general line of commercial movies that educate people, and instill ideologies. It has freedom of creation, which makes it impossible to know what is going to happen, and it surprises from start to finish. It is sometimes too slow and simple. With directors like the Cohens, they would have enriched it a little more, and it would have reached a higher level. Even so, it is the film that I have enjoyed the most watching this year.<\/p>\n
