Overview
Two dramatic stories. In an undetermined past, a young cannibal (who killed his own father) is condemned to be torn to pieces by some wild beasts. In the second story, Julian, the young son of a post-war German industrialist, is on the way to lie down with his farm's pigs, because he doesn't like human relationships.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A provocative double feature that trades in transgression and alienation, following two men utterly severed from human society through acts of radical self-exile. Pasolini frames their rejection of civilization as both grotesque and oddly logical.
