Vivian Wu as Candy Wang and Haoyu Wang as Old Wang in Cathy Yan’s “Dead Pigs.” Photo courtesy of Film Movement. “Dead Pigs” is a head-scratcher of a movie. Cathy Yan, the writer/director, considers this film to be a social satire and in its best moments, it is. But sometimes those moments are few and far between. Opening on Old Wang (Haoyu Yang) in a Virtual Reality Gallery, he is unpleasant, selfish, and rude a real pig. How on the nose is it that he is actually a pig farmer? Arriving home from his foray into the city, he is shocked to discover that all of his pigs, his entire livelihood, are dead. This couldn’t come at a worse time because the arrogant and ignorant Old Wang has just made an imprudent investment and owes a lot of money to some really unsavory guys.

Dead Pigs review: Splashy debut from Birds Of Prey s Cathy Yan

Photo: Mubi In the spring of 2013, more than 16,000 rotting pig corpses floated down the Huangpu River, the “Mother River” whose tributaries feed Shanghai’s water supply. Public outrage and an official investigation followed, eventually tracing the pigs to Zhejiang Province, about 60 miles outside the city. The animals had died of a disease called porcine circovirus that officials insisted was not contagious to humans, and a tangle of regulations amid a crackdown on black-market pork had led farmers to dump the remains rather than pay the government fees to dispose of them.

Dead Pigs review – winding tale of life in cash-crazed Shanghai Peter Bradshaw A breezily westernised style of Chinese movie is on offer in this 2018 debut feature from Chinese-American film-maker Cathy Yan, who two years later went to Hollywood to direct Birds of Prey, starring Margot Robbie. Dead Pigs is an ensemble dramedy set in Shanghai that satirises – in a distinctly lenient way – the commercialism eating away at China’s heart. It is inspired by a real-life incident in which thousands of dead pigs were found in the city’s Huangpu river, dumped by poverty-stricken farmers who couldn’t pay the disposal fees; the pig symbolism reminded me a tiny bit of Alan Bennett’s A Private Function.

Dead Pigs Review | Movie

12 Feb 2021 Last year, everybody wanted to know who Cathy Yan was. The DC Extended Universe had just been given a gutsy makeover with Harley Quinn’s solo outing Birds Of Prey, and Yan was the director to thank. She had made just one feature before a fizzy social satire called Dead Pigs. Those lucky enough to catch the film at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival where it premiered before being released in China wouldn’t have been surprised by the high-octane success of Birds Of Prey. But for the rest of us? Watching Dead Pigs in 2021, thanks to a belated streaming release, feels like travelling back to the future: this story is new, but we already know how good Yan’s own journey continues to be.
