Disco Pigs (2001)
7/10
Dangerous desire.
14 April 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Two babies are born in the same small Irish community hospital only moments apart. From the very beginning it seemed that Darren(Cillian Murphy)and Sinead(Elaine Cassidy) had a special uncanny relationship. Growing up next door Darren was nicknamed Pig and Sinead Runt and the two shared the same make-believe world and created their own language. Inseparable fondness grew into dangerous obsession. When the two turned 16 it seemed that their relationship was stronger than ever, but there was the developing taste for violence. The attachment grows more intense and when Runt moves away Pig is destined to search for her relentlessly.

The thick Irish accent makes it a bit hard to understand at times; but then again it could have been mistaken for their own created mumbled language. They drop the F-bomb like there is no tomorrow. Kudos to director Kirsten Sheridan on her first feature. Its in her blood for her father is the veteran filmmaker Jim Sheridan. Supporting cast includes: Brian F. O'Byrne, Elanor Methven, Tara O'Neil and Geraldine O'Rawe.
