Taxidermia

Well I watched this film about 11 or 12 years ago late at night on film 4. It is the single most weird movie I’ve ever encountered with maybe the exception of Hausu. For anyone who has to watch this because of me I apologise now.

It’s a grim depiction of three generation’s of men from the same Hungarian family. The first is a cleft paletted, sadomasochistic, perverted, low level army jobs worth and all round scum bag. This part dose provide one of the best scenes of the film involving a cock peking a cock! He loses his life after fucking the fat matron of the house and then the butchered remains of a dead pig.

The second is the speed eater. After being hit by love at first sight at one of his speed eating contest, he gets lock jaw and losses to his mate who was competing with him to ask her out. However he ends marring her and on there wedding day, his mate runs away with his bride and fucks her in a barn! But soon they are back together hunny mooning and they learn that they are going to have a baby. This is interspersed with visual’s of large men eating disgusting amounts of food and then chucking it up.

The third is the taxidermist. In stark contrast to his farther who had now grown to a comically massive size he is as skinny as they come. His father is deeply ashamed of his son for being so skinny. Now because he’s so fat and can’t physically stand up anymore is reliant on His son to take care of him and his experimental large cats! Because speed eating went out of fashion (I wonder why!?) the father has been keeping cats and trying to feed lard to them to get them massive.

The son is a creepy loner that loves his work, a bit to much! After an argument with his father he storms out of the house and doesn’t close the cage holding the massive cats properly. A week or so later the son returns to find the cats have killed and eaten his father.

Like any normal person would, he decide to taxidermy his father and then rigs up a machine so he can taxidermy himself. There body’s are then displayed as art the end!

Yes this is a bat shit crazy film and honestly I mainly picked it because I thought it would make for some interesting reviews! It’s a grim and disturbing watch but it’s definitely unlike any film your likely to see ever again. Also my girlfriend had the pleasure of watching this masterpiece with me. I’ve never heard someone say what the fuck so many times while glaring at me in the space of a couple of hours!
