Dead Pigs (2018)

Dead Pigs: Directed by Cathy Yan. With Zazie Beetz, Mason Lee, Meng Li, Archibald C. McColl IV. A bumbling pig farmer, a feisty salon owner, a sensitive busboy, an expat architect and a disenchanted rich girl converge and collide as thousands of dead pigs float down the river towards a rapidly-modernizing Shanghai.

“There are many similar movies with almost identical storylines. This one uses Shanghai as backdrop, the other use cities like NY, LA, Paris, Berlin, Mumbai, Rio, Seoul…. If you have never been to China, this film showcases some of the absurdities there, which are actually quite ludicrous.”
