Pigsty
1969, Italian. Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
I killed my father, I ate human flesh, and I quiver with joy.
Two dramatic stories. In an undetermined past, a young cannibal (who killed his own father) is condemned to be torn to pieces by some wild beasts. In the second story, Julian, the young son of a post-war German industrialist, is on the way to lie down with his farm's pigs, because he doesn't like human relationships.
