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.

Goofs:

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.
