hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith.n for mark kermode to review this week's releases. if you are going to make a movie about an eccentric truffle hunter searching furiously for his stolen pig, then surely you want to cast nicolas cage. whistling. in pig, he plays a disheveled hermit who lives in the oregonian wilderness with his beloved foraging hog. when she's taken in a violent kidnapping, he doesn't stop to nurse his wounds. he heads straight into town. hunting the restaurants and bars of portland, this christlike spectre will stop at nothing to find his pig. he'sjoined in his search by alex wolf's truffle dealer, who lives in the shadow of his rich father. pig is billed as a thriller, but i think that's a misleading label. while there's some suspense, this is a gently paced story about the bond between human and animal, and the extraordinary power of sensory memories. like our hero, the script has little time for the pretensions of high concept dining, but it has a great respect for the art of cooking. you can almos
