Synopsis
The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon (周處除三害, 2023) is a Taiwanese crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Huang Jing-fu and led by Renn Yenn in a career-defining performance. The film took home seven Golden Horse Awards and became one of the most-discussed Asian releases of its year.
Chen Gui-lin is the third most-wanted criminal in Taiwan. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to make his remaining time count — by hunting down the two men ranked above him on the list and dying at number one. The first target is a straight fight. The second leads him into a religious compound where the control over people runs deeper and darker than any gang he's encountered.
The title draws from a Buddhist concept of three poisons — greed, hatred, delusion — and the film works through each one methodically. The cult sequence landed on shortlists of the most unsettling scenes in 2023 cinema. It's brutal in stretches, but the brutality has a moral logic to it. Stream The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon (2023) online on iFILM.
