Review of The Pigs (1992) by Pan L — 07 Apr 2008

This is the first real cult movie of post-communist era (as for me and many of my peers one of the greatest to this day). Shot in newly democratic Poland, it was accused of forcing western-culture, that is strange, patterns onto native ground (Franz Maurer is more tough than ten Callahans, and more cool than five Bonds).

Film refers to a very significant moment in the history of the nation - all segments of society are going through changes, but so called political police, hated and despised by everybody, is on completely default position.

This, and few other factors (director's misogyny is his infamous trademark) leads to uncompromising solutions. Same as Rejs (The Cruise), Psy have delivered dozens of blast-off, hellluva catchy lines, being immediately incorporated to common language and (still) enjoyed by thousands.
