Taxidermia

Words can barely describe what you will see when you watch this truly twisted tale. In telling the story of three generations of a Hungarian family, director Gyorgy Palfi fills the screen with visceral visual images that will either make you laugh or make you sick to your stomach … sometimes both. This is not a film to watch after a big meal, particularly during the story of the second generation and its graphic look at the ‘sport’ of competitive eating. For a more complete explanation of the whys behind what he’s done, check out the making of bonus features where Palfi talks about the new Hungarian cinema and the need to shock audiences to get a response. You might want to let the shock wear off first, though.
