Too Absurd to be Comprehensible or Enjoyable

Story of a man who has unnatural feelings for a pig. Starts out with a opening scene that is a terrific example of absurd comedy. A formal orchestra audience is turned into an insane, violent mob by the crazy chantings of it's singers. Unfortunately it stays absurd the WHOLE time with no general narrative eventually making it just too off putting. Even those from the era should be turned off. The cryptic dialogue would make Shakespeare seem easy to a third grader. On a technical level it's better than you might think with some good cinematography by future great Vilmos Zsigmond. Future stars Sally Kirkland and Frederic Forrest can be seen briefly.

Excellent testimonial to experimental theatre

"All the world's a stage and its people actors in it"--or something like that. Who the hell said that theatre stopped at the orchestra pit--or even at the theatre door? Why is not the audience participants in the theatrical experience, including the story itself?

This film was a grand experiment that said: "Hey! the story is you and it needs more than your attention, it needs your active participation". "Sometimes we bring the story to you, sometimes you have to go to the story."

Alas no one listened, but that does not mean it should not have been said.

A very bad trip on the wild side

What is this? A bunch of idiots, a field, a little stage and (too bad for us) a camera. A grand experiment all right, a grand experiment in lousiness. It goes on just like a very bad dream. It's totally unwatchable. I had to watch it in 3 or 4 segments so not to get carried away and throw the tape by the window. It's like watching a 10 hours movie about the life of a cereal or something like that. Just one question pops out: what where they thinking, or smoking when they made that one! And the music, it's so annoying.

Out of 100, I gave it 47. That's good for 0 star out of ****.

Seen at home, in Toronto, on January 2nd, 2003.

Ode to a pig.

Basically filmed performance art.

O'Horgans troupe put together a (barely) musical skit about a farmer unlucky in love.

Well, human love anyway.

So he falls for his pig. The devotion is almost touching.

Don't worry.....no bestiality here. This isn't one of THOSE underground films. None of that freaky stuff here.

Siskel and Ebert called this one of their turkeys of the week way back when. I found it in a video bin in New Jersey and watched it with a group of half drunk friends.

None of us knew what the hell was going on but we all stayed until the end.

Hypnotic....if you're in the right daring mood.

Hillbilly bestial opera comedy - post Hair!

Seen as an uncertified film in 1969 it was of its period featuring hillbilly love affairs (including an attractive pig) and very artistic writhing bodies in the desert sands. Of its time and worth old hippies watching for nostalgia.
