Viewing Notes

FF Guide description oversells this a bit. For a “pitch black comedy” I was expecting something more biting and certainly darker, especially by this director. Probably why I usually don’t read those but in this case I had no clue what this movie was about.

If it was just positioned as a comedy about a guy who is kidnapped and raised with pigs in Latvia it would be fine. It’s an amusing film and I love the pigs.
