"This portrait of a late-career reunion between [director] Jean Renoir and [actor] Michel Simon is also a collaboration between two major filmmakers: Jacques Rivette, who directed the film, and Eustache, who edited it." —French Institute, New York City

The Pig (Le Cochon)
Directed by Jean Eustache and Jean-Michel Barjol
(France, 1970, 50 min., subtitled)
"Le Cochon records the slaughter and dismemberment of a pig and the process of transforming the dead animal into various food products. Eustache and Barjol filmed the movie over the course of a single day… There are no voiceovers, explanatory titles, or interviews. The movie begins with the slaughter of the pig, a wrenching thing to witness—but instead of passing judgment on the farmers, it [turns] into a portrait of a way of life, of the process of transforming one thing into another." —Jed Rapfogel, Senses of Cinema
