In this episode of Tim Recommends: Pig
An excellent - and unexpected - performance by Nicholas Cage. Pig follows the story of a former head chef from the city of Portland, Oregon. He has since left the city after the death of his wife in order to live the remainder of his days in the peace of the forest with his beloved companion pig. They spent their time together hunting for truffles and partaking in fantastic cabin-cooked meals.
That is - until one fateful night. A pair of junkies breaks into Rob's cabin and steal his pig. The movie follows his journey to get his pig back.
At first glance, its grittiness combined with Nick Cage's extensive wacky history makes this premise jump off the page as an incoming foray of goofy antics.
But as you watch more and uncover the story and journey of one man in search of his lost pig, it becomes clear that this movie has a deep, profound message about grief, loss, and our inability as human's to properly cope with such difficult feelings.
I'm Tim, and I absolutely recommend Pig. Please watch it if you can.
