Our Lovely Pig Slaughter (Czech: Mord, literally Murder) is a 2024 Czech-Slovak tragicomedy film written and directed by Adam Martinec in his directorial debut.[2] The film is a study of Czech nature. According to the director, the film is about different forms and dangers of loneliness, about the fact that not every conversation is conducted with the right words, how little people really listen to each other, or how little they value themselves for standing up for themselves.[3] The film premiered at 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival[4] where it received Special Award.[5]
The story is accompanied by sharp humor and the visceral rendering of the characters, which, according to the Karlovy Vary festival where the film competed, is reminiscent of the leading works of the Czechoslovak New Wave.[3]
The story takes place somewhere in the Osoblažsko area, where a family meets for an annual tradition - a pig slaughterhouse. However, this time everything is different than usual.[3]
