I'm gonna fess up: I've got no idea what this movie is supposed to be about.
Revolving around the self-destructive relationship between two Irish lads named
Runt (Elaine Cassidy) and Pig (Cillian Murphy), there are flashbacks,
voice-overs, dream sequences, and weepy music, as these two morose teens dally
about in what I guess passes for a romance.
It's not much of one, something of a Donnie Darko, only without the acting
talent, the story line, the soundtrack, or the human-sized rabbit. What that
leaves us with is very little, just a wacky bunch of characters hell-bent on
violence against one another and society.
Is there a point in this somewhere? No clue, honestly. No clue. I will say
the direction is competent and the camerawork is well done, but the urge to say
anything else about Disco Pigs is decidedly absent.
