Details

One of Lawrence Jordan's earliest animated films, PINK SWINE is an energetic and playful mix of various animation styles. Described as "an anti-art dada collage film," this free-form short presents cut-out images animated across old photos (a style picked up by Terry Gilliam a few years later) and found objects that dance to the beat of the rock-and-roll soundtrack. He produced this short during a summer spent with Joseph Cornell and Jordan edited the film entirely in camera, making the upbeat visual rhythm of this delightful lark even more impressive. –Sean Axmaker

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Michael_Elliott Pink Swine! (1962) *** (out of 4) Fun mix of stop-motion as well as cut-out animation from director Larry Jordan with the song "I Saw Her Standing There" being played in the background. This is a pretty difficult film to describe as there's really not any plot but instead there are just a bunch of images edited together to mix with the song. The stop-motion stuff was quite nice as was the way the director would take a photo and film it as if it were moving but the really cool stuff happens with the cut-out animation, which is basically a bunch of objects cut out of paper and we see them move around. There's certainly nothing too ground-breaking here but fans of the bizarre should enjoy it.
