Taxidermia

About This Movie

Taxidermia is a wild ride through the grotesque and absurd. György Pálfi’s film spans generations, starting with a WWII orderly whose bizarre sexual frustrations lead to a legacy of excess. The humor is dark and often uncomfortable, blending seamlessly with horror elements that linger long after viewing. The pacing is uneven, but that oddly fits its themes of obsession and decay. The practical effects are striking, especially in the way they illustrate the extremes of gluttony and taxidermy. Performances are bold and unapologetic, capturing the eccentricities of each character. It’s definitely not for everyone, but those who appreciate the surreal and the macabre will find something intriguing here.
