Trailer
An irreverent
comedy from the production company of Monty Python's Eric Idle, Leon the Pig Farmer is a cult classic in Europe.
The movie's zany story is set in motion when Leon Geller ( Mark Frankel),
a sensitive Jewish boy from London, accidentally learns that he is the
product of artificial insemination. Leon's search for his biological parents
leads him to the still more startling discovery of a sperm bank mix-up
proving that he is the son of a Yorkshire pig farmer! The inevitable confusion
results in a comic Jewish identity crisis.
Critical Acclaim
"Leon the Pig Farmer was a clear case of script and verve over
microscopic budget, something that's sadly too rare in British film-making,
which usually manages the small budget, but little else. Mark Frankel
heads up an eclectic cast dealing with sex, pigs and estate agents in
a film that appears to have been a lot of fun to make."
