PIG
Second and final call, you guys! Go watch PIG (trailer here) ASAP. It’s a new independent film about a truffle hunter who seeks revenge on the people who stole his beloved truffle hunting pig. I don’t want to tell you much beyond that, other than the very important detail that the truffle hunter is played by Nicolas Cage, who gives his best performance in years. I am not a huge fan of the revenge-movie subgenre, but filmmaker Michael Sarnoski is so deft at subverting the genre that I’ve found myself recommending the film all week to anyone who will listen. Also, it’s a very tight 92 minutes, and who doesn’t love that?!
