Our Lovely Pig Slaughter
Mord Tchéquie-Slovaquie 2024| Adam Martinec | vostEN | 84' | digital | Cast: Karel Martinec, Pavlína Balner, Miloslav Čížek, Aleš Bílík, Karin Bílíková
► Mention spéciale du Jury, Festival de Karlovy Vary 2024
For Karel, the annual pig slaughter on his family farm is a sacred tradition of revelry and feasting. This year, however, everything seems to unravel. The film offers an intimate, lively portrait of Czech temperament with visceral characters and biting humor reminiscent of Czech New Wave classics.
