DIRECTOR: GYöRGY PALFI
HUNGARY
"A new zenith of body horror in the cinema, the resolutely unclassifiable Taxidermia provocatively charts three generations of men in a profoundly peculiar family: hair-lipped, self-abusing grandfather Vendel begets 1950s Olympic speed-eater Kálmán, who sires anti-social, fearfully imaginative taxidermist Lajos. Moving from an explicit exercise in central European miserabilism to grotesque comedy to David Cronenberg's worst nightmare, each segment mixes shock value with macabre, faintly sentimental mystery—just what one would expect from the director of festival favorite Hukkle."—Sydney Film Festival. Winner of numerous Hungarian Film Week Awards, including Best Picture and Art Direction, and this year's Hungarian submission for the Best Foreign Film Oscar. Adult. Print courtesy of Filmunio. ( 91 min )
Filmography: A Hal (97), Hukkle (02).
