What The Pigs Is About
Known in Poland as Psy, The Pigs follows Franz Maurer, a former secret police agent now working as an ordinary cop in post communist Poland, who discovers that some of his old colleagues are now on the opposite side of the law; it opened on November 20, 1992. The film became enormously popular in Poland, widely credited with resonating because audiences identified with the disorientation of shedding a communist era past for a new capitalist reality; while the 1994 sequel, Pigs 2: The Last Blood, is documented at 700,000 admissions, no verified box office figures exist for the original. Who it's for: anyone curious about Polish cult cinema that channels post communist identity crisis through former agents of the old regime. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a clear moral side to take, since the film moves through the gray area between its characters' past and present.
