    Kids! You know what time it is? That's right... it's post-apocalyptic pig-boinking time!

    Can you think of anything more interesting than seeing a demented farmer walk around his farm for 80 minutes, occasionally playing dress-up with his birds, beheading his chickens, and having steamy sex with his wife, who happens to be a pig? I know I can. Which is quite sad, because the description on IMDb really made this seem like a movie worth seeing, if only for its originality and absurdity. Unfortunately, everything negative that has been said about this movie is true: it moves at a snail's pace, it's uninteresting, very disgusting, and ultimately not worth seeing. I fail to see the deeper meaning of a man running around naked in the mud chasing a sow, but then again, I never was that good at reading between the lines. What do I know? Maybe this is the epitome of genius, but I found it to be a waste of time and chances are that so will you. Don't see this movie.

    But any advice that I give you is not going to matter anyway, is it? You're probably going to see the film out of sheer morbid curiosity anyway. After all, how could any fan of obscure film pass up the chance to see something called "The Pig F----ng Movie"? You just decide for yourself how much time you really want to waste on this... um... "film". Don't say I didn't warn you!

    Depraved entertainment. Don't' call it "art".

    HUGE SPOILERS

    Obscure! sick! depraved! I dug it. I didn't enjoy most of the movie's scenes. Believe me, watching a man penetrating a pig isn't something nice to watch. Also, it's not a pleasure to watch a man eating his own excrement. What I liked about the movie is the obscure character development of "the man". I wonder what kind of mental disease or sickness this man had. He found sexual pleasure with animals but also generated love feelings towards animals. He even decides to have his own family with the pig and later kills them all... Poor little pigs. So the director tried to have a love story but only shows how humans can also be demented.

    The movie surely is disturbing because of it's grotesque scenes and sounds but it isn't something that will sincerely shock you. If you don't watch it objectively, you might consider it as a piece of crap. I could only recommend this movie for people who are into psychology and weird fixations.

    This is classified as an art movie but in my opinion is just a poor excuse of shocking film making. This movie seems to have vanished from earth.

    Intense "Vases De Noces" gives a disturbing look at the end of man's survival

    I approached Vases De Noces with sheer caution, knowing what would lie ahead of me and all the talk surrounding it, it remains as strange, quiet, savage and disgusting. It has scenes that are revolting and ugly, you could beg the film for mercy to end and it still lingers on the screen like smoke. Vases De Noces could be on a category of its own. We see things as bestiality, corophagia, urine-drinking, etc and it does not shy away on what we can do is just stare or just close our eyes. Others have said that it's disgusting, vile, nasty, and sick and I have to agree that the film is not so enjoyable.

    Sure all of this could make out that Vases De Noces (aka The *beep* movie) is such a wretched film that could leave you nauseated and would make you not look at an animal for a while, why is there a movie like Vases De Noces around? Was it done to just shock, disgust? Or enjoy? I could say the first two, knowing what I would wouldn't see. It is a film that has disappeared from out of thin air, nowhere to be found for someone to see and if they did, they shouldn't.

    What I found so fascinating is how the farmer lives, he uses hot coals to take baths, prays before he eats, does his business in a portable toilet. Lingers about his farm tending to his chickens or putting dolls on them or just frolicking with his pig.Sure, frolicking with his beloved pig; chasing it around, rolling around the manure,until finally having sex that made me flinch in disgust, it's not too graphic but weirdly well done.Many reviewers have focus on the content and how tedious it is,never noticing how the sky and landscape shows how the post-apocalyptic the world is. After the pig has died and the Farmer burying himself with the pig, it is lurid.There is an amazing long shot of the black and white landscape fading slowly before the Farmer rises from the pigs grave. A strange but funny scene when the farmer eats and feeds his offspring, the little piglets run over to his plate. Refusing their food only to eat his and again and again he puts them back to their plate only to find them going back to his plate.

    This review will make you think I enjoyed this film,although I can admit that I only enjoyed the cinematography and the isolation of the farmer.Watching this after watching the tedious Nekromantik 2 which went on and went on, I was engulfed from the loneliness of the farmer.Like the first original Nekromantik, the hero kills himself after it's horrific lifestyle in a very enigmatic way.Not much things are explained and I don't mind at all. I settle in giving Vases De Noces three stars out of four or a 6 1/2 out of 10, Not to saying I hated it or loved it, all I could tell you is don't watch it.

    Like a nightmare.

    And not a nightmare I'd personally enjoy. I'm curious as to why a movie like Vase De Noces even gets made. Or even for whom it's made for? I guess there's a taste for anything. Even the tasteless.

    Truly sick and repellent Belgian art-house zoophilia film.

    A farmer(Dominique Garny)who may be the last man on earth,loves and makes love to a huge sow-pig.When the sow gives birth,he takes the piglets from her to keep her from eating them,and knits cute little infant things for them.When the piglets abandon him for their mother,he executes them by hanging,and the sow shows the first distress she has shown for the whole film."Wedding Trough",more commonly known as "The Pig Fu*king Movie" is certainly one of the sickest films ever made.It's loaded with scenes of implied bestiality,coprophagia and insanity,so fans of unrelentingly grim,experimental transgressions will be satisfied.The action is set on a secluded rural farm and the film is completely devoid of dialogue.Still despite its truly repellent subject matter the action is slow,but the scenes of the farmer sodomizing his swine or eating his own excrement are sick as hell.Give it a look,only if you are into extreme cinema.8 out of 10.

    • Trivia
      This had trouble with the Australian censors when it was shown at the Perth International Film Festival in 1975. Normally, censorship does not affect film festivals, but pressure from conservatives forced the board of censors to ban the film. It was allowed to be shown after an appeal to the ban, but it was banned again in 1976.
