About

You can stream Pigsty (1969) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Two dramatic stories. In an undetermined past, a young cannibal (who killed his own father) is condemned to be torn to pieces by some wild beasts. In the second story, Julian, the young son of a post-war German industrialist, is on the way to lie down with his farm's pigs, because he doesn't like human relationships.

Can a soul find peace in the company of beasts when human connection feels like a burden? These fractured vignettes shift from a primal execution to a quiet, unsettling retreat into the life of swine.
