Three stories. Three generations. Three men. One bizarre and shocking universe.
Gyorgy Palfi's Taxidermia tells the stories of three generations of Hungarian men (one a sexually frustrated, low-life, peeping-tom soldier
his son who is an obese Communist champion speed eater
and the grandson, a twisted taxidermist who is trying to invent a machine so he can embalm himself) while at the same time satirically mocking Hungary's struggles as it passes from imperial servitude, through Soviet authority, to independent lethargy.
Taxidermia is a no holds barred attack on the senses, filled with grotesque imagery and surreal beauty that not only lampoons society but reveals the sometimes ugly truth about mankind and our excesses, all in one of the most bizarre films ever seen.
