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.

‘who knows where the truth lies in dreams besides making us anxious about it’> while I don't fully believe in the existence of this film, I'm glad it exists... my specific taste in people's appearance has led me to consider Jean Pierre Leaud, Anna Wiazemsky, and Pierre Clementi as the most attractive people ever. and why did it include all of my favorite people?? Pasolini just gets it (I'll ignore the disgusting shit they're all doing here I don't care anymore)

It’s interesting how both plots were connected in a way. Amazing end and twist as always.
