gyorgy palfi second feature taxidermia be definitely a milestone in hungarian film making and it be a truly astonishing experience and i would thoroughly recommend it to anyone want to broaden their taste for cinema . i find the film to be a deep black comedy with some stomach churning and twisted scene intermix with beautiful artwork and sophomore character . through chronicle the life of three generation of one family ( a soldier from the second world war and a sportsman and a taxidermist ) each be show to have their own perverse and distort lifestyle which be cleverly exhibit through ( among other approach ) and myriad masturbation and excessive gluttony and deformation and dismemberment and taxidermy . in this film palfi have create a deviant and anomalous world and and via his own talented cinema technique and have manage to depict it in a shrewdly reflective manner i. e. he hold a mirror up to our own . those familiar with european cinema will be able to reminisce with the many influence on show and with some scene even hark back to pasolini epic and salo this be also combine with many other surreal influence . some would argue that taxidermia be a gory and violent and unnecessarily eccentric film but it be all necessary in serve it narrative and be not present for titillation purpose a be so often find in some of the more contemporary european cinema . generally i feel that taxidermia tell of a society in which defect and sleaze and dishonesty serf it creator own personal vision or goal to further themselves and that this search justify everything and regardless of how twisted or harmful . in addition to this journey taxidermia present the audience with some of the ugly and dark place of the human mind . without say anymore and i would even go so far to say that taxidermia be one of the great feat of 21st century movie making .
