taxidermia be a beautiful film in many respect and and it never cease to amaze me that this be only györgy pálfi second film . have see his first feature hukkle previously and it be clear that pálfi pay great attention to detail and and perhaps place the great importance on sound design . a great example of this would be the scene wherein lajos ( play by marc bischoff ) extract his own organ the visceral image of each individual organ slide out of the body become infinitely more repulsive accompany by the appropriate foley sound and deliberately amplify to draw u close to the action . amon tobin skulk score help to identify the tone a dark and sinister . though i haven not read lajos parti nagy short story and the source material from which each character originate and i love the theme of animalism and the deadly sin . each member of the balatony family seem to exhibit the physical and spiritual trait of an animal morosgoványi a the lustful rabbit ( compare his hare lip ) and kálmán a the gluttonous pig ( complete with truncated tail ) and and lajos a the vainglorious bird ( his gaunt face also bring to mind the skull traditionally see in vanitas painting ) . pálfi enrich this theme by have each character physically deconstruct real animal morosgoványi have sex in the corpse of a pig and kálmán gorge on various animal and and lajos stuff animal for a living . a each man die a a result of his sin and one could suggest that pálfi be criticise man hypocrisy for judge others without recognise his own flaw .
