That’s one healthy haul
Cage was asked this question during a sit-down with The New Yorker. The actor has appeared in nearly 120 films since his breakout starring role in 1983’s Valley Girl and will be next seen in a rare supporting role in the horror movie Longlegs. Along the way, he won an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas and racked up several fan-favorite performances in films such as 1987’s Moonstruck, 1988’s Vampire’s Kiss, 1995’s Face/Off and 2002’s Adaptation.Yet, Cage didn’t pick any of those.Instead, he chose Michael Sarnoski’s 2021 drama Pig, in which Cage plays a despondent loner and former acclaimed chef on the hunt for thieves who stole his beloved truffle pig. The film earned some of Cage’s best reviews in his career, and racked up a 97 percent positive score on Rotten Tomatoes.Explained Cage: “[Pig is] something that I think people can get something out of, because tragedy is going to hit all of us at some point. It’s just a matter of when. It’s also a movie that to me is like a folk song. It’s very quiet, gentle movie, which is the polar opposite of … people thinking I’m crazy” due to the sort of high-energy and extravagant characters Cage has played in the past.
Pig is on sale for a measly $8.93 at Amazon right now, and he wants you to watch it.From the Hollywood Reporter: Nicolas Cage Says There’s One of His 120 Movies He Wants You to See (hollywoodreporter.com)It's a really good movie, and I posted a positive review for it a couple of years ago: Pig (2021 - Blu-ray) - Movie reviews - AVS Discussions (avscience.com)Good time to pick it up if you're interested.
