“thoughtful, beautiful, poetic, genuinely original film” The Guardian
OINK looks at man’s relationship to pigs, exploring the confused mix of violence and sentimentality, from factory farming to pigs as pets. Veering wildly from a talking baby pig to live zeno-transplantation, Ralph Steadman’s cartoons for George Orwell’s Animal Farm to wild hogs being machine-gunned from a helicopter, the film is a mad bad journey from China via Brooklyn to Wiltshire reflecting on who we are and how we deal with the world around us.
