Pig follows the story of a truffle hunter whose life changes once his beloved pig is kidnapped. Will he be able to find it? The story is unlike what I had expected it to be. I had expected it to be a run on the mill kind of action film. However, the ‘meat’ that I was served is more organic and melancholic and moreover a story of a loner that just has his pig for company. The screenplay is taut but moves at a leisurely pace. The premise might seem pretty simple and straight forward, but the screenplay has its own form of intricacies. The sequence of events is what will keep you glued to your screens yet the emotional thread which is maintained throughout is heartfelt and something that is relatable, considering the fact that you are searching for that one thing that was dear to you. But I did also expect mild twists and turns along the way. What worked only partially for me was the predictability of the screenplay. While the clues and the mystery ties the film together, I was expecting a shocker in certain parts. So it did get me a while to realise that this isn’t that film. It is far too rooted to reality than I ever would have imagined it to be. But what did impress me was the emotional angle which was filled with pain and regret that truly hid many of the minor flaws of the screenplay. The note on which the film ends is heartbreaking and extremely heartfelt and definitely sends you off in that zone of loneliness and pathos. Overall, a well written screenplay.
