It's the story of a famous chef who leaves all the bull shit (as he calls it), to live in the woods with his pig, his cookware, and his cassette tapes. Who hasn't wanted to join the likes of Thoreau and live a life of pure substance? So our hero, Robin Feld is about as cool as you imagine. He doesn't talk much, but everything he says is filled with wistful meaning.
In the event that you haven't read more telling reviews of this film, Robin's pig gets kidnapped in a dramatic scene (I can still hear the screams), forcing our hero's return to the city in search for one of the only things worth caring about. I kept expecting some type of Nick Cage action scene or Nick Cage freak-out, because you don't at first know what kind of guy Robin is. And I feel like this expectation, only aided the immersion of Pig's wonderfully moving scenes. There were some hokey moments, but not enough to pull me from the edge of my seat. Pig is an instant classic, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves their pet and likes good food.
