Pigsty
Dir: Pier Paolo Pasolini 
1969
*****
With Pigsty, Pasolini again exaggerates the Imagery/dialogue/performances, merges the contrast between the rich and the poor and shows us dark sides of humanity with a very knowing undertone of anti establishment, or at least, of Italian politics/Religious ideals of the time. Do we do wrong out of necessity/passion/obsession/perversion, does it all come very naturally to us or is evil and perversity man made, if so, is it because we enjoy them so much? A typically dark and grotesque comedy from Pasolini, another sacrifice in the name of art and rebellion. Society owes him a lot more than history lets on I believe.
