About This Movie

So, 'Piggy' is this intriguing 20-minute short that dives into the world of forensic biology, specifically through Dr. Mark Benecke's decomposition study. The atmosphere is oddly captivating, blending science with a bit of artistic flair thanks to Jörg Buttgereit’s direction. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sink into the subject matter; it’s not rushed. The practical effects are something to note—there's a gritty realism that’s both fascinating and unsettling. The film pushes you to confront themes of mortality and decay without becoming overly dramatic. It’s definitely a niche piece, but the unique approach and the way it intertwines art with science makes it stand out in the documentary genre.
