Pigsty (Porcile) (Masters of Cinema) (1969) (DVD)
€29.90
Tax included
Used DVD. Running time: 1 h 38 min. Age rating: 16
Subtitles: english
SYNOPSIS: Decades on from its release, and featuring an all-star cast that includes Jean-Pierre Léaud, Anne Wiazemsky, Franco Citti, Pierre Clémenti, and Marco Ferreri, Pigsty [Porcile] remains one of Pier Paolo Pasolini´s most controversial and wilfully provocative works - a deranged parody of cinema as revolutionary act.
It comprises parallel stories: (1) Clémenti and Citti as cannibalistic savages who rampage a world outside of any distinct time or place, and who push against the boundaries of human morality; (2) Godard-regulars Léaud and Wiazemsky as a romantically engaged couple in a contemporary Germany painted as a morass of industrialisation, fascist impulse, and bestial instincts.
Rivalled only by the director´s Salò in its obsession with the politics of bourgeois degradation, Pigsty continues to challenge and enlarge the notions of what makes for ”a political film” and what is meant by ”a Pasolini film”. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present the nightmarish Pigsty in a special DVD edition from a new HD master.
SPECIAL DVD EDITION:
Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini
Actors: Franco Citti,Anne Wiazemsky,Margarita Lozano,Ugo Tognazzi,Alberto Lionello,Marco Ferreri
