Review of Taxidermia (2006) by Jim F — 13 Jul 2012
A surreal but often metaphorical glimpse into the lives of three generations of one Hungarian family, each with their own perversions. Delivered as a black comedy, some scenes are as intentionally uncomfortable as their subject matter, exploring pointless greed, bestiality, and lust for example.
All find their way into the portrayed society, unquestioned as the film rolls smoothly through each man's life. The subtle statements run underneath the absurdity as each illegitimate child of the Balatony family strives and fails to fulfil the distorted dreams of his father in the bleak backdrop of a fading Soviet grip.
An excellent film and not easily forgettable.
