It's not a question of a bestiality fetish, of course.
Actually bestiality is not one of the themes of the movie, not at all.
Even if it could sound weird (and it would have sounded VERY WEIRD to me too before watching the documentary) this is a movie about spirituality, it's a sort of a quest for purification, a kind of alchemic journey.
There are many references to flemish painters, mysticism, authors like Artaud or Jung...
That documentary opened my eyes about the movie, I'm really glad it did because I admit I haven't been capable to understand it on my own. It's probably my limit but I have deeply revaluate the movie after seeing the movie.
Zéno says that the movie has more than one connection with the the ones made by Pasolini and I agree with him. Well, Pasolini belongs to a completely different level but it's true that there are several connections.
Zéno and Garny are two cultured person with a solid background and they knew what they did at the time of the movie.
I've discovered this movie because I study Claudio Monteverdi music and I'm planning a book about him. When I knew that this movie featured some of his sacred music I've immediately searched for a good copy of it.
Another interesting thing about the documentary is how it reveals very interesting anecdotes about the movie (how they found the film for making it, all the problems they had with censorship, the controversy with animal killing...).

This movie shows you that the noble and fine "cineasts" will watch anything.
I bet a lot of what you self-proclaimed cinephiles call "art-house directors" are actually laughing at you themselves. They have fun testing how far they can go and still fool someone.
Whomever made this movie had no talent, but unlike you guys he had a brain so he exploited your lack of taste and intelligence and your perversions and, since there are so many of you idiots, he probably made his living off of it.
You can take anything, you can take a piece of *beep* and analyze it to death and argue that you are smarter than the rest because you are watching obscure movies. It doesnt mean that the movie/piece of crap has any substance other than that of a foul smell of manure and particles of feces, which in turn is exactly whats coming out of your mouths when you analyze/review it.

The movie is about retarded young man who *beeps* a pig and eats sh*t. That's basically it. Hipsters will find any nasty pile of cinema excrement to be art.
