Piggy (2022)

Movie #1,038 • TWO FOR TUESDAY

Today's two-for-Tuesday theme is "recent movies from Spain made by female directors," eschewing the typical "the titles have a word in common" thing. After I watched this, I kept thinking of podcasting riffs forgetting that I'm no longer doing a podcast. But the thing about that is whenever I would do this — verbalize in my mind what I might like to say about a movie — I rarely ever recorded soon enough thereafter to make whatever point was on my mind. Horrible flawed system/brain I got here, folks.

There was something interesting here with the running of the bulls/her being called "Piggy" (one of the young bulls gets loose... pig vs. bull? something?? IDK) but I couldn't flush it out. As I wrote on me Letterboxd: "Turned out to be as gruesome as the movie poster but it took its time getting here. Left me feeling blank but I enjoyed it in spurts. Bullying is bad! Yes yes etc…" I think that 'bout sums it up. Slightly more than a 'meh' for me—narrowly avoiding the dreaded Lucy Line.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼

Quite simply, fuck.
