Cerdita (Piggy)

Movies watched in 2023

Cerdita (Piggy) (2022, Spain)

Director & Writer: Carlota Pereda

Mini-review:

I loved this way more than I thought I would. The representation probably isn't perfect, but it portrays fatphobia in a really harsh and unflinching light. Some people might find it too much, but I think Carlota Pereda made the right choice, showing how bullying and abuse can affect a person's psyche. Oh, and it was a fantastic move to show that fatphobia can happen at home as much as it happens outside. While there are strong doses of dark humor here and there, the movie is a pretty hard watch at times, so be warned.

All that being said, the movie's true power rests entirely on Laura Galán's bravura performance. She perfectly conveys her character's anxiety, confusion and terror. I couldn't help but relate to her, even as her situation escalates into something pretty crazy. Also, Carmen Machi's acting is as excellent as always, but I already expected that. Finally, I wanted to mention the cinematography and the sound design. The movie flawlessly captures the vibes of summer life in a small, rural-ish Spanish town, from the light to the background noises. So yeah, I will definitely keep an eye out for Pereda and Galán's future work.

Trapped: "RTVE leaves Anna Castillo, Inma Cuesta, Belén Cuesta, Carmen Machi, Carla Simón, Marisa F. Armenteros, Pilar Palomero, Alauda Ruíz de Azúa and María Zamora trapped in its pre-roll. The 9 will take the opportunity to speak and give visibility to the presence of women in cinema on the occasion of the San Sebastián Festival"

@asongofstarkandtargaryen The Donosti Film Festival has alredy started and this short was shown at the beginning with some actresses, directors and producers.

Piggy (2022)

Movie #1,038 • TWO FOR TUESDAY

Today's two-for-Tuesday theme is "recent movies from Spain made by female directors," eschewing the typical "the titles have a word in common" thing. After I watched this, I kept thinking of podcasting riffs forgetting that I'm no longer doing a podcast. But the thing about that is whenever I would do this — verbalize in my mind what I might like to say about a movie — I rarely ever recorded soon enough thereafter to make whatever point was on my mind. Horrible flawed system/brain I got here, folks.

There was something interesting here with the running of the bulls/her being called "Piggy" (one of the young bulls gets loose... pig vs. bull? something?? IDK) but I couldn't flush it out. As I wrote on me Letterboxd: "Turned out to be as gruesome as the movie poster but it took its time getting here. Left me feeling blank but I enjoyed it in spurts. Bullying is bad! Yes yes etc…" I think that 'bout sums it up. Slightly more than a 'meh' for me—narrowly avoiding the dreaded Lucy Line.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼

Recensie La Voluntaria ★★★ - op 8-10 te zien op @asffofficial Laat dat vrijwilligerswerk niet voor iedereen is weggelegd. Je doet het voor een ander en niet voor jezelf. Misselijkmakend!

De dramafilm La Voluntaria (The Volunteer) gaat over Marisa, die als vrijwilliger naar een Grieks vluchtelingenkamp trekt. Ahmed zorgt ervoor dat ze anders aankijkt tegen het vluchtelingenwerk dat ze verricht. Wat wij van La Voluntaria vinden, lees je in onze recensie. (more…)

"Piggy"

A coming-of-age thriller that's as compelling as it is gruesome, and this tale of revenge, morality, and desire is one that I won't soon forget.

Adolescence at its most brutal is laid out in a both spectacular and understated fashion in “Piggy,” writer – director Carlota Pereda‘s intense, provocative feature film that expands on her 2018 short, “Cerdita.” I am completely in love with everything about this film, from its unlikely heroine to the visual style to the disturbing script. Sara (Laura Galán), overweight and bullied because of…

I love watching miguel angel silvestre in spanish productions. You put him next to carmen machi or paco tous and he looks even more like a human ken doll than he normally does
