Taxidermia

Taxidermia is one extremely unique Hungarian film. It has gory details of twisted human while at the same time it is beautifully film like an art!

The movie showcases 3 generations of different men. Starting with a soldier from World War II who is capable of shooting fire with his (ahem) penis to a glutton, love story of speed glutton and finally a man who loves embalming to death and quite in the literal sense too. Loosely inter-linking all 3 men - grandfather, father and son.

This greatly grotesque movie is shrewdly made, showing the strangely talented, creative and yet dark and twisted cinema techniques. I guess we all live in a rather dysfunctional society. If we choose to be selfish, self-absorb and living without boundary, I do wonder how many of us will end up like these 3 men in the movie. Deviant and yet alluring at the same time. Can this truly be our real form as human. I really hope not.

This Gyorgy Palfi film is worth watching. But it isn't for the faint heart. It is mind blowing till the very end of the show.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 fairy clouds for the excellent cinematography and style which not many people can achieve without making it a totally turn off movie.
