‘Piggy’ Review: A Killer on the Loose Isn’t the Scariest Thing in This Visceral, Upsetting Body-Image Horror

Guy Lodge Film CriticIt’s been nearly seven years since the devastating November 2015 terrorist attacks on Paris that left 137 dead, and while the effects of the tragedy have been indirectly felt in a surge of French films centered on terrorism, security fears and cultural conflict, filmmakers have largely shied away from direct dramatizations of the events and their fallout. Isaki Lacuesta shows no such hesitation in his ambitious, windingly structured “One Year, One Night,” which provides an explicit anatomy of trauma as experienced over the course of a year by a Franco-Spanish couple who survived the Bataclan nightclub massacre — itself reconstructed in claustrophobic, stomach-knotting flashbacks.

A couple struggles to process the aftermath of the Bataclan terrorist attack in One Year, One Night (Un Ano, Una Noche), an affecting Berlin Film Festival competition title from Spanish director Isaki Lacuesta (Between Two Waters). Inspired by a book from Ramón González entitled Peace, Love and Death Metal, it’s based on recollections from real survivors of the 2015 attack in Paris, and the level of detail is compelling.

a study conducted by Toronto’s York University discovered that “slim-thick” imagery online causes more body dissatisfaction amongst young women.The study actually named the Kardashian mogul and her sister Kylie Jenner as influencers who contribute to the discontent women feel about their bodies because of their online content.The “slim-thick” body ideal — defined by the researchers as “a curvier or more full-body type, characterized by a small waist and flat stomach but large butt, breasts and thighs” — has become more idolized in mainstream media in recent years.“The hashtags #thick, #thicc and #slimthick have 6.2 million, 3.4 million, and 1 million posts on Instagram respectively, and the hashtag #slimthicc has 134 million tags on TikTok,” the researchers said of 2021 social trends.While a thin, Kate Moss-esque frame might have been ideal in years prior, that trend is out and the Kim K’s of the world are in.But those curves aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.The family of influencers is regularly outed for egregious photoshop fails, including this week when Kim’s leg fell victim to some heavy-handed editing, prompting its removal from her Instagram.It’s become routine to digitally alter photos, the York University study said, “thus making the thin ideal even thinner and less attainable for the average woman.”While it’s not illegal to alter a photo or get plastic surgery, of course, body acceptance influencer Mik Zazon, 26, told The Post it’s “manipulating authenticity” by not being transparent about it.A post shared by Mik Zazon (@mikzazon)The Ohio-based content creator, who has over one million followers said one example is when Kim shared her psoriasis outbreak on her face in a selfie posted to Instagram, which made
