Grisjakten (English: "The Pig Hunt"; "gris" = "pig", "jakt" = "hunt") is a 1970 Swedish film, made by Jonas Cornell after a 1968 novel by P. C. Jersild starring Hans Alfredsson and Keve Hjelm[1] The film's genre is difficult to classify, it's an absurdly told story on an absurd matter.
Lennart Siljeberg, Bureau Chief at the so-called Cattle Inspection of the State (Statens Boskapsinspektion abbreviated as SBI) is given the task to organize this commission by Departement Counselor Sivert Gård.
At work, Siljeberg always puts SBI's interests ahead of everything else, and at this occasion it means to organize the "de-porkification" process as smooth as possible, nothing more, nothing less.
Aftonbladet's Jurgen Schildt wrote "Grisjakten has become an ambitious, obsessive, partially funny movie, a tragicomedy that sometime convinces by virtue of its tied sarcasm.
"[6] Expressen stated "It almost came as a shock to many that Hans Alfredson, with all his compassion, with such empathy and precision, could perform such an unsympathetic person as the agency manager Siljeberg.
