Original, controversial, explicit & disgustingly beautiful cinamatography... Exactly my kind of movie. (See also 'Ex Drummer'!)

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

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

Grotesco, enfermo, etc y refleja a la sociedad contemporánea

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

Weird

No frame wasted.

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

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.

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

Quirky little one! needs a rewatch

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.

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.

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

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.
