Amusing and appalling in equal measure, this bizarre black comedy follows the plan hatched by two seriously maladjusted zoo workers and a deaf-mute dog handler to kidnap a pet belonging to the wealthy and porcine Avida (Velvet). When their scheme fails, the three become entangled in the humongous heroine's life in unexpected and unsettling ways. Co-directors Benoît Delépine and Gustave de Kervern also star. 83 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French, Spanish, and English; Subtitles: English. In English, French, and Spanish with English subtitles.
