BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Konterr Brilliant and touching

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

katzykat Disturbing, beautiful, and weird. I read about this movie on a website at first and thought "A man boinking his pig? That sounds retarded." But then....I found out it was ridiculously hard to attain and I had to watch it, and I got a good copy so I was able to see everything clearly. This is both a blessing and a curse. The pig boinking scenes are, eh, well clearly he's really enjoying it and as much as I wanted to stop watching it, I couldn't, it's like a car wreck. Although, I think the scene where he's naked chasing the pig around that pen is even more disturbing-he's like a hunter going after his prey. He WANTS his pig. I feel like it was about to be a rape scene. Also He's got obsessions. He obsessively saves things in jars, pretty much saving everything he finds. I think when he's placing the jars on the shelf and they keep falling off is a metaphor to what's happening to him, he is losing control, cracking, and can't keep everything in place. He also acts obsessive with the piglets, who by the way don't look mutant, they look like cute little piglets and there are 2 funny scenes with them when he tries to cloth the piglets and they don't want to wear the clothes. Then that scene at the table where they won't eat from their dishes, so cute. But it demonstrates how obsessive he is. Some have mentioned that he is autistic, and I would agree that he is. (Also, what is THAT with the doll heads and the birds? Like he's trying to create a mutant creature, but it isn't working). And while all of this way creepy/icky/disturbing, the truly disturbing thing to me is the loneliness he had to experience as a result of his environment. The whole movie is void of talking, just the sounds of the animals and the music. Although there are a lot of slow scenes in this movie I think they help convey the emptiness of his days, the loneliness being surrounded by nothing but animals, and the mundane ordinariness of it all. Then the piglets come along, he dives into taking care of them. That made me sad too, the way he was so excited about his piglets because that is the only exciting and good thing happening in his life. So then he kills them. Then his lover kills herself. Then he eats his own crap and kills himself. The sound of the pig screaming while running away was blood curdling and made me sad. So, why would I like it? Im not sure, but I did. It was tragic and you really felt for this guy despite his "habits" because while watching him I really felt he did not know any better. What's more, I found myself wanting to know his past, where did he come from? How did he end up here and why? Also, the music was weird but fitting. I think it will forever be stuck in my head. This was the most disturbing film I've seen.

mrdonleone this movie is a perfect example of how a work of art can be misunderstood. when I read all the comments about 'Vase de noces', I was shocked. how can something so beautiful as this movie be misinterpreted? because that's all it is: interpretations. this movie is, because it has got no dialog, one big interpretation. so let's give mine by repeating it's only my interpretation: this movie is about homophobia, even though I only understood its message at the end of the picture. everything became clear to me: obviously, the protagonist is a farmer boy with mental problems, probably caused by something like, perhaps, childhood terrorism, it isn't mentioned in the movie (no dialog, remember?), but it's clear to say this teenage boy has got real problems. because he lives all alone in a farm with his animals, nobody helps him to fur fill his needs. and he has got some weird needs, but only (I interpret) because he lives alone, he's homosexual and no man in around (and no woman either) to help him get off his sexual desires. luckily for the poor kid, there are his animals. they help him go on with his life, by giving free sexual encounters and giving him the possibility to kill whenever he's upset. please, do not forget, I do not give away anything about this movie, there are shocks with thousands in this one I won't tell a thing about. but what I found so interesting, is that the boy has got some issues, he's a bit like the Amon Goeth character in 'Schindler's List', very interesting. he hurts himself, he loves himself, he wants to do good, he fails by being the opposite. how will this character study develop? to know this, you must see this art house movie, pure genius. and the thing about it all, is its hidden message, which I thought was that we must stop hating homosexuals and welcome them in society to avoid situations like the one portrayed in 'Vase de noces', one of the best films I've ever seen.

chrisjoy This 'film' has to be one of the most sordid films every produced. For people to even suggest that Olof_kmek's comment was useful has either never seen this movie, or has no idea what this film is about. This film has nothing to do with love, but pure sadistic acts of bestiality, coprophagia, murder, and suicide.The film has a very incoherent plot structure, and is difficult to describe chronologically due to several strange and often random scenes interweaved into the overall story. Such displays consist of the farmer fastening doll heads to pigeons, cutting off the head of a chicken, and collecting strange materials in jars. A farmer, who may be the last person on Earth, lives on a rural farm in Belgium, and falls in love with his huge sow. After bonding with her in several strange ways, such as rolling in manure with her, he finally decides to culminate the relationship. After which, the sow gives birth to human/pig hybrids, whom the farmer immediately tries to bond with. He tries to feed them all, but they all try to leave to be with their mother. Jealous, the farmer hangs all of them. When she discovers that her children are dead, the sow runs away in grief and falls into a mud pit, where she drowns. The farmer begins to look for his love, and when he finds her, he becomes overcome in sadness. He drags the sow out of the hole and buries her back at the farm, and subsequently tries burying himself along with her. When this fails, he decides that his life is also over, and begins destroying every important aspect of his life, including the strange jars that he collects throughout the film. After his breakdown, he oddly begins making tea out of his feces and urine, which he consumes wholeheartedly, and immediately becomes sick. Finally, he hangs himself off a ladder, which is the last image of the film.

charleswbrown Be warned this film does feature excrement eating, sex with animals, oh and a chicken has its head cut off. But it's all done with style. The film features a man that has sex with a pig, and this results in the pig having human/pig hybrids. The piglets love their mother more than him so he kills them by hanging them and the mother then kills herself. He them buries himself alive with her but resurrects himself, this leads on the excrement eating to which he becomes violently ill due to and the film ends on the actors hanging himself from a very high ladder, oddly enough. I have met and attended a screen talk with Thierry Zeno, the director and he is a very laid back and proud director. The film did shock/disturb me but it wasn't the on-screen imagery which did this, it was the surreal and odd soundtrack which is just brilliant.I can't imagine this film will ever be shown on Broadcast TV or the cinema again so try and buy it!
