"Vase de Noces" is an outstanding flick . Its meaning is obvious: it's an allegory about obsession (not a particular one, provided that the particulars - teaching the pigs good manners, marrying a sow, collecting feces - are totally inane , but any mind-destroying compulsion developed in insulation ) which finally leads the obsessed one to destroy his sick love and finally himself. There is an identification man <-> obsessions and when the objects of the obsession fail, we understand that our hero is necessarily doomed. The fact that it's very graphical and disturbing is functional to the message. It is beautifully shot with great mastership of the medium, the music comment is awesome and Dominique Garny plays "heroically" his role. Now this can sound like a provocation but I think that one of the good things in this movie is that it is never excessive. The same plot in the hands of a less skilled director/actor would result in a mere shocker movie full of bad taste (imagine this movie in "Technicolor" or directed by john waters), not in that lonely descent to hell depicted by this outstanding movie. Its limit is that the story could reach a higher expressive impact if developed by a more creative director - I imagine that some Pasolini or Lynch could do even better than this.
And as pointed out before, one who willfully watches a movie called "the pig-f***ing movie" automatically loses his right to complain.
One last word to that plethora of Philistines who commented on this thread so far: "when the finger points at the moon, the ... look at the finger" . Please spare us your nonsenses. We already know that feces and pigs are gross, find some other argument or change your schedule.
