"Disco Pigs"
2001
Directed by Kirsten Sheridan

This debut film from Kirsten Sheridan, daughter of Irish director Jim Sheridan, is a vivid, disturbing portrait of two teenagers, nicknamed Pig and Runt. Born in the same hospital on the same day, Pig and Runt share a near-telepathic bond and live in a shut-in, make-believe world that is both innocent and fragile and violent and destructive at the same time. As they grow older, their lives change drastically when Runt desires her independence from an emotionally unpredictable Pig. Elaine Cassidy and Cillian Murphy provide raw, energetic performances as the two teens. "One of the most disturbing, unusual films I've ever seen" (Christopher James The Times).  93 minutes.
