Pearls Before Swine (film)
- Pearls Before Swine (film)
"Pearls Before Swine" is a 1999 film by Australian director Richard Wolstencroft that premiered at the Stockholm International Film festival in November 1999. The film portrays the life of a hitman with an interest in such things as fascism, S&M, collecting erotic literature, Dr Who, and philosophy. The plot concerns the assassin being given a contract or fatwa on a controversial author. The lead role in the film is played by musician, counter culture icon and political philosopher Boyd Rice. The film's failure to gain acceptance into the Melbourne International Film Festival inspired Wolstencroft to start the Melbourne Underground Film Festival or MUFF as an alternative event that is now in its 7th year. The film is available on DVD with "Bloodlust" Wolstencroft's first feature in Europe and in the US as a stand alone package with a special Making of documentary.
