4.0 out of 5 stars
Certainly odd, but worth a watch, February 6, 2005
This review is from: Pig (Limited Edition) (DVD)
Well, Another reviewer covered the details of the film so I'll skip most of that.. This is definitely an odd little film. It's one that makes you think instead of telling you everything thats happening (really it doesnt tell you anything considering there are no spoken words). Its worth seeing at least once though I wouldnt say its the best of its kind. Really what made the package worth having are 2 things, the "Why God Permits Evil" booklet of Rozz's artwork and the Memorial video to Rozz with the soundtrack of his song "Flowers" which I found very touching and thoughtful in paying respect to him and all his works. With only 1334 copies made available it was a nice collectors touch while at the same time it does prevent alot of people from seeing one of Rozz's final projects (take a look at the used selling prices, lowest price at the time I'm writing this is $147.99, OUCH! - *glad I got my copy early!!*) -extra note, I'm not sure if all copies are like this but mine came signed by Nico B.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Gorgeous, haunting, not a gift for your mommy, June 23, 2005
This review is from: Pig (Limited Edition) (DVD)
Gorgeous. It's a strange film: artsy, morbid, one of those things that typify what most imagine when they think of dark, college, indy art, but still impossible to pin down, and not what you would have thought it was. It is original, fluid but jarring, disturbing, and not for a second cliché. There is no questionablity as to its validity as a work of art by two men who had a vision and carried it out perfectly. The only negative thing I would say about this film isn't about the film. It's about the fans' regard for Nico B, who gets little credit for the film from Rozz's following, but who was a huge part of the film, and I don't think that PIG would be half of what it is without him. Wait for a seller to offer a decent price or find it on eBay and WATCH IT! No Rozz fan will be dissappointed. Following Rozz's stated purpose of early Shadow Project and Premature Ejaculation concerts - This film will make you feel sick and ashamed, even if you still haven't figured out why.

S&M + Murder = Pig, June 24, 2005
This review is from: Pig (Limited Edition) (DVD)
Being a fan of early Christian Death & The Shadow Project, I had to see the film for myself. Before I say anything about the visual part of the film I must say that the soundtrack is a great piece of ambient noise (5 Stars). The DVD extras contains a Rozz Williams memorial video set to one of his songs, which was a nice touch. There is also a small insert booklet of collage artwork by Rozz Williams and there are more images of his work in the DVD extras (5 Stars). So why 3 stars you ask, well the "movie" itself it seemed juvenile and if it didn't have the soundtrack to keep it moving along it wouldn't have gone anywhere. With that said, all fans of Rozz Williams should view and interpret the work for themselves.
