What Dead Pigs Is About
Dead Pigs is Cathy Yan's debut feature, made before Birds of Prey; it premiered in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at Sundance 2018 and won a Special Jury Award for ensemble acting. The film is inspired by a real 2013 incident in which thousands of dead pigs were found floating in the Huangpu River as it flows into Shanghai, an event Yan read as a symptom of rapid modernization and capitalism. Who it's for: fans of films that trace a rapidly urbanizing China through intersecting characters from different social classes, anchored in a real, bizarre incident. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a single protagonist and a conventional dramatic arc, since the film weaves several characters in parallel.
