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.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt's Speed-Eating Cataclysm Time!!
By Brady Orme VINE VOICE on 21 Aug. 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
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!

5.0 out of 5 starsErase your head
By Dr. Delvis Memphistopheles TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 9 Sept. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
"Disgusting" film which revels in all the hidden worlds focusing on fetishes and how they take over your life. Starting with pre war bullying we are led through the degredations of a man with a hare lip who fantasises about women and sex to the extent he leaves the real world behind. The camera looks at the composed reality through his eyes and brings it all plummetting down to its animalistic basics; the body secretions oozing in all relentless forms. Bullied relentlessly he succumbs to his overwhelming fetish as recompense even though he is reminded of its dangers. This is where the film asks some questions about what is real and what is imagined - ideas central to the plot.

After a "natural" conclusion the film shifts to focus on the man who bullies him. Briefly he becomes the main character as a child is born. Pre war the world was founded upon scratching the earth for an existence and whilst women may have been the idealistic prize, they remain forever unattainable in beauty, only dreams for lust. This is a motif that runs throughout the film as an unravelling thread; desire and an ability to fulfill it versus the sordid facts of inhabiting the world and exposing the inner core. As the characters obsess we are led through some sordid channels of non erotic fantasies, which may put some people into choking fits, as the porn becomes taken to a Celinean extreme. Comic and cruel the base elements are revealed and then revelled within. So be warned.

Moving through the generations, the Communist idealistic world becomes villified through the use of competition to achieve national status.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA creative hungarian movie-bomb
By MatsBolanche on 27 Oct. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
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!

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful and grotesque
By dandawsinho on 19 July 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
It attempts to be gruesome...and succeeds - but does it so beautifully that it's an amazing thing to behold. Making a gob of spunk turn into the starry night sky was a highlight.

3.0 out of 5 starsWow
By Rachel Curnow on 14 Jun. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Weird. Funny. Eloquently shot. Disgusting in places. Unpredictable. Powerful. Left from centre. Edgy. Poignant. Extreme - This film is all of the above and really is in its own class entirely. Should you watch it? Hell yes. Although some viewers may find certain scenes difficult, this has to be one of the most important films made since the turn of the century. If you want to challenge yourself, and especially if you are a fan of foreign films anyway, then this comes highly recommended. While no masterpeice in my book this is still a unique experience worthy of your attention.
Mad!!

3.0 out of 5 starsA warts and all biography of mankind.
By @GeekZilla9000 TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 1 May 2008
Format: DVD
This film is the perfect antidote for those fed up of feeling inferior after watching the Hollywoodised view of life with perfectly groomed beauties sipping skinny lattes in trendy coffee bars.

This film gets to the root of humanity by showing the ugly side of life. Stripped of all but our most basic animal instincts (mainly sex and eating) the film manages to be grim, but often darkly humourous. The film intends to shock, and I'm sure that more prudish audiences would struggle to stomach some scenes. Personally I never felt offended, but I can see how some might be.

We see the three separate stories, linked presumably by family history, over three generations and everything is laid bare. There's perfect scope to build a fondness for the characters, but this never really happens. There was only a brief point at which I cared about what would happen to someone in the film (the Hungarian man and wife super-eaters) and although I still felt compelled to follow the film through to see how the three stories progress, my interest was minimal.

The fantastic direction and artistic imagery make this film watchable. In fact, they make it enjoyable despite the grim subject matter. Without such a strong creative approach I'd have had to force myself to watch the film.

So in a nutshell: A film with characters who lack the depth required to invoke a magnetic appeal, but expressed in an imaginative way which has to be seen to be appreciated. Not always the easiest film the watch, but maybe that's because it reminds us too much of what we all really are. It gets 3.5 stars from me, I'd love to have this fall the way of a 4, but I'm going to go with a 3. Some good bonus features on this DVD (ANY in fact!) would have no doubt helped sway me to a a higher score.
