Pig

Director: Michael Sarnoski

2021 / 92min / DCP

Formerly a star of Portland’s fine dining scene, Cage’s Robin “Rob” Feld now lives an austere and isolated life in the deep woods of Oregon, his lone companion a prize foraging pig with whom he ekes out a living hunting for truffles—until one fateful night when unknown assailants make off with his porcine partner, sending Rob on an odyssey into a world of haute cuisine and underground lowlives in a bid for her return. Cage gives an unusually scaled-in and enormously soulful performance in Sarnoski’s disarmingly affecting character study, which describes one man’s journey out of the wilderness of his deep, dark, private sorrow.
