Hog Heaven
How much knowledge does manhood need?
A biblical lesson - disguised as a trashy musical persiflage - that catapults the audience from the Fall to the Apocalypse.

How much knowledge does manhood need?
The film Hog Heaven asks this question by exposing the drama of the Fall and the heroic epic of creating a better world in the here and now as posse.
The painful failure to which man seems to have been condemned always points him to a better world elsewhere; It is not for nothing that the German word "suffering" comes from the Middle High German "li-dan" for "to go abroad".
The two Polish exiles Adam and Ewa Kołakowski do the same. Paradise is what they don't have, what is far away, it is the West, a promise, a utopia.
We are all condemned to wander around baseless, or - as Sartre put it: “Damned to freedom, people have to see again and again what they do with themselves and their existence.
”But the problem is - as the philosopher Leszek Kołakowski rightly recognized:
“Man's self-deification, (…) ends like all individual and collective attempts at self-deification. It turns out to be the farcical aspect of human inadequacy. ”
