Taxidermia is a 2006 Hungarian comedy-drama horror film directed by GyΓΆrgy PΓ‘lfi. The film is a metaphorical socio-political retelling of Hungary's history from the Second World War to the present day. The film features music scored by electronic artist Amon Tobin.
Taxideremia 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. Historical facts and surrealism become intertwined as magical realism, like in the works of Gabriel GarcΓa Marquez or the Hungarian writer Lajos Parti Nagy; the script is based on two of the latter's stories. Palfi added the third story, that of the grandson the taxidermist.
***SPOILER ALERT***
I would like to thank my twisted friends who recommended this. Well done, now I'm afraid of going to Hungary.
Most disgusting and visually shocking movie I've seen in the last years, I DON'T recommend this movie to anyone.
