Taxidermia

Wonderfully obscure film about man's instinctual need to immortalize oneself through passing on a legacy through a son. Food, sex, birth, death and many other human facets are explored... beautiful and disguisting (sometimes simultaneously).

When the first scene is a guy with flames coming out of his penis, you know you're in for something special. With scenes that combine necrophilia and bestiality (in honestly a fantastic sequence), gluttony, explicit gore and more vomit than a moleitau - it's unfortunately easy to forget the Hungarian history in the moment, as the true weight of the film comes with hindsight. Not when you're overwhelmed by content that would make the Marquis de Sade smile.

Three stories. Three penises. Three men. Grandpenis, penis, penis. One is a penis, one is a leading penis, and one is a master penis. One desires penis, the other penis, and the third penis. (Fesitval de Penis) And that's just the first 15 minutes.

Enormously sad and hysterically funny: a brilliant tragicomedy, a severely sarcastic satire and a real fucking punch in the face of respectability.

Drop-dead bizarre yet simple and fabulous. Repulsive yet exquisite. Nightmarish yet dreamy. The search for one's self seen as the size of his aims in life.

Quirky little one! needs a rewatch

A quote from the IMDB Parent's Guide: "A man masturbates until his penis excretes flames. the silhouette of his erect penis can be seen." That is just the opening scene of the movie. It gets weirder.

A dismally boring film filled with little more than a series of gross out scenes that should be made by kids on youtube not film directors. There's next to no story and what little there is, is loosely strung together and poorly plotted. There's absolutely nothing going on behind the pretentious facade.

No frame wasted.

loved every disgusting, grotesque moment this movie had to offer..and it had quite a few of those :)

Gleefully disgusting multigenerational tale. Generally, the deliberate obtuseness of a lot of arthouse features can be offputting, but this movie is so utterly fucking gone, that such concerns never enter the picture. It's the rarest of gems: An engrossing gross-out film.

Explicit, gore, ... whatever the adjective may be, this all reflects the stylistic beauty of Taxidermia. ... The style of every different story is amazing. ... The cinematography, the absurdity, and the amazing ending, this film is definitely worth viewing.

It's pretty visually striking. I was very impressed by some of the shots. The score by Amon Tobin is also worth a mention. It's creepy, disturbing and grotesque and I wouldn't exactly say I enjoyed it, but it's sure interesting.

need to rewatch, remember not being wowed by it but i seem to see people raving about it fairly often, until then: 67

Hilarious, absurd, funny movie about three generations. Differ positively from mainstream films.

Shocking, absurd and hilarious. At the same time ugly and beautiful. Definitely something you haven't seen before.

A strange story. A good little indie-movie.

This bizarre, scatological, perverse and gruesome Hungarian film is certainly one of a kind. Not recommended if you're the squeamish type.

It has creative cinematography and good music, but continuously goes too far with its attempts to be disgusting. Spits in front of Hungary's history are somewhat elaborated, but not exactly sensible; I didn't find this theme captivating also.

One of only about three movies that have ever truly disturbed me.

Everyone should watch this at least once, but no more than once

"Taxidermia is merely slimy biological vaudeville." - Bill Weber

Alegorik olarak oldukça zengin, izlerken insanın kafasında kıvılcımlar çıkartan, üç kuşağa yayılan, zorlu ve tuhaf bir anlatı. Filmin sinema duygusunun, yoğun tematik zenginliğinin bir tık aşağıda olması modern bir başyapıtın kapısından dönmemzi neden oluyor.

Amazing and psychological movie. Human minds.

Whoosh. I'll try again if I'm not sleepy.
