TAXIDERMIA: Gorgeous horribleness from Hungary

Tuesday, July 21, 2009


Taxidermia is a Hungarian picture that looks incredibly disturbing, but also fascinating. (Note that the Wikipedia page link gives away the film's ending.)

Here's the official synopsis:

Taxidermia contains three generational stories, about a grandfather, a father, and a son, linked together by recurring motifs. The dim grandfather, an orderly during World War Two, lives in his bizarre fantasies; he desires love. The huge father seeks success as a top athlete — a speed eater — in the post-war pro-Soviet era. The grandson, a meek, small-boned taxidermist, yearns for something greater: immortality. He wants to create the most perfect work of art of all time by stuffing his own torso.
