Product Description
THREE STORIES. THREE GENERATIONS. THREE MEN. ONE BIZARRE AND SHOCKING UNIVERSE. Orderly Grandfather is a love-craving fantasist who lives off feverish dreams and his fertile imagination. Speed-eater Father is a leading sportsman who for four years held first place in his category within the confectionery industry. He is still unbeatable in chocolate wafers with an individual record of 2.98. Taxidermist Son s weight at birth was just one-and-a-half kilos. Now he has less than one-and-a-half minutes left to perform the ultimate in auto-body modification procedures. Hilariously sick and outrageously deviant, this gross-out visual feast is shock cinema at its best.

Honestly, with all the fuss surrounding this superlative film, you'd expect Sodom-And-Gommorah to shoot through your Cathode Ray Tube and vomit creosote into your wallet. Nope. It's all very survivable, apart from a few graphic instances (which the dear-old Auntie BBFC could have excised within a heartbeat, but they didn't. There MUST be a God!). I suppose vegetarians may have a few Heart Palpitations, but there you go.
It also cocks a snoot at those naysayers who have a firm belief in the inferiority of Eastern-European cinema - "Taxidermia" is crammed with more CGI than your average Jenna Bush photoshoot. Guy Ritchie be damned, he's scrawling graffiti on the side of the Venus De Milo and can't spell "OK" yet. Take note, British cinema is LIGHT YEARS behind this. We've lost the war Comrades.
Extras? Erm, there aren't any, so pinch those pennies in anticipation of the 3-disc special edition in 2011, when it'll be released to more fanfare than the Watergate tapes. Hey-ho!

An absolutely post-surrealistic hungarian explicit movie product. A story in three parts, with son, father and grandfather. Starts with grandfather, a soldier with morbid feelings and a special relationship with/for pigs. He got a son, the father in the movie, born with a pigtail who growns up to be a speedeater. Has a good technique for throwing up, and of course named that technique. Finally a son is born again, the son in the movie, he is very different as personality and work in an own company. He is freakishly obsessed with taxidermy. A fantastic black comedy, its grotesque and you get an absurdist journey from postwar scenes to speedeating competition. Buy this now!

Where's the Pepto-Bismol?
This is a mordant, darkly comic tale of obsession spanning three generations. Captivating in its grossness, this is definitely not one for the squeamish. Read more

Taxidermia is taxing on patience
So, Taxidermia. A film that is basically 90 minutes of taboos strung together into a vague narrative form. I didn't like this movie. Read more

What about the extras?
This is a wonderful bizarre film, structured in three-tree-family acts and each one eerier and more terryfing, I love it and think of getting a copy on dvd.. Read more
