Pig

A truffle hunter who lives alone and completely isolated in a wild area of Oregon, returns to Portland with the aim of recovering his beloved truffle sow, which has been stolen from him.

Nicolas Cage, Alex Wolff, Adam Arkin, Nina Belforte, Gretchen Corbett, Dalene Young, Julia Bray, Darius Pierce, Elijah Ungvary, Brian Sutherland, David Knell, Sean G. Tarjyoto, Tom Walton, Davis King, Kevin Michael Moore, Beth Harper, Dana Millican and October Moore are the actors who make up the film?s cast. Directed by Michael Sarnoski, he co-wrote the screenplay Vanessa Block.

"Cage plays Rob, a man with a lumbering gate and graying hair and beard that, as complemented by his stylized hobo wardrobe, suggest that he has fully succumbed to resignation and melancholia. When Cage speaks, it?s with a delicacy that pointedly contrasts with his rugged appearance. At times, the viewer may be left craving one of the actor?s prototypically absurdist on-screen outbursts, or a bit of audience-gratifying violence, but what Sarnoski has up his sleeve is a subdued rumination on the contours of grief. (...) Cage, in full martyr mode here, seems to get off on the perversity of, well, caging his brand of operatic hysteria. (...) 'Pig' is a revenge film that?s ultimately about the futility of vengeance to ease the baggage of the soul", explains Slant.
