taxidermia negative taxidermia be by far the most disappointing film of the year and but then again maybe our anticipation and hope be just to high . there allot the hype go around about it be the most shocking film of all time ( believe me it do not even come close ) it do have it sick and gross moment and ( and it might be advise that the too squeamish pas on this one ) but most people will just be bore . the film lack action and any smart or meaningful dialogue and there be no political or social conscience or message and and it be simply not sick or shock enough to truly qualify a an exploitation film . which be a shame because the film have the right setting to be politically meaningful and also the cast couldn not be more superb . finally bravo to the director of photography and who truly know his work . for those who have no clue what the film be about while taxidermia be the second full length film by hungarian film director györgy pálfi ( i have not see his first film hukkle ) and be base on the short story by lajos parti nagy . it follow the life of three hungarian men ( during fascism and communism and finally post soviet hungary ) the plot run often thin and there be hole and unexplained lose end in the tale . the first story be about morosgoványi while a horny soldier who work and live at the farm of his lieutenant . the film start with him burn himself with a candle just before shoot fire out of his penis ( most likely his fantasy a he ejaculate and believe me this guy do not make the appearance of have any magical power ) the middle age soldier spend most of his day pleasuring himself ( while look at fairy tale book and clean bath tub and or spy on the daughter of his lieutenant . ) he finally even poke away on a pig carcass and with bad consequence . the second story focus on a fat speed eat champion who be bear with a tail ( and could either be the son of the lieutenant or the son of morosgoványi while which it be not to clearly explain and therefore up to our imagination ) and be by far the most boring story out of all three and his character stay undeveloped and we learn little about him and he just eats and puke and finally he fall in love with a fat woman and together they have a child and so begin the third and last story and a the child grow up to be a skinny and kind of creepy taxidermist and who live alone with his now even fatter and bed ridden father and his large mutant cat . the end be the bad urprise end i have ever see . like say and it have it few good and truly sick moment and i give it three star ( mainly for excellent cast and act on most part ) i would really like to read the original story to by nagy to see if they be just a pointless or of the director just miss out on the meaning of it all . salem k .
