“Dead Pigs” is a head-scratcher of a movie. Cathy Yan, the writer/director, considers this film to be a social satire and in its best moments, it is. But sometimes those moments are few and far between.
Opening on Old Wang (Haoyu Yang) in a Virtual Reality Gallery, he is unpleasant, selfish, and rude a real pig. How on the nose is it that he is actually a pig farmer? Arriving home from his foray into the city, he is shocked to discover that all of his pigs, his entire livelihood, are dead. This couldn’t come at a worse time because the arrogant and ignorant Old Wang has just made an imprudent investment and owes a lot of money to some really unsavory guys.
