trashgang Three different stories that are going to shock the viewer. I was warned but I have seen so many Japanese flicks that were sickening that this wasn't shocking at all but still for the 'normal' viewer this s a sickie.The first story shows us a man who is out to satisfy himself in so many ways with his cock. And of course male nudity is shown, some parts are funny (with the chicken) others are shocking.The second part is all about eating and vomiting and is shown, so for many it will be shocking again.Part three was or me the boring part. But still, it can be shocking for someOverall this is a weird flick that is made to offend the viewer and I n tell you, it will, and if you have a weak stomach, don't eat before watching this.Gore 1/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

kirawolfcub I will give this is a strange movie, and it might be because it's Hungarian, so the methodology for their horrors may be slightly different from American. I don't want to spoil anything and I will say it's not my kind of movie, but I did like that fact that thanks to QI, I understood one of the scenes where a lady and a doctor are staring at a frog. I do find it interesting how it follows the lives or more then just one person. That's generations it follows and it does express the depression professionals sometimes feel when their field of expertise is no longer appealing to the public eye. That being said, I have never understood speed-eating, but that's cause my gag factor tends to kick in easily. And trust me, this movie will pull on it at some point.

Leofwine_draca TAXIDERMIA is a horrible film. The director, who possesses some kind of art-house sensibility, has seemingly decided to make a film as grotesque and offensive as possible. He tells the story of three men in three generations of the same family, and what follows is an anthology of three linked stories.The first is about a soldier who's also a sexual pervert. Lots of unpleasant sexuality in this one, and it's all a bit pointless. I struggled through it, and hoped the second story would be better. It isn't, it's far worse: a lengthy segment about a speed eater, the sole purpose of this part is to show obese people vomiting. Over and over again. The final part follows the same character, but also links to his son, who has some bizarre notions about death and art.The characters are outrageous, the script is silly and the glorification of the grotesque just doesn't work. There's no point to all this, no power, and attempts to justify TAXIDERMIA as a groundbreaking exercise in surrealism are, in fact, groundless. Instead, this puerile piece of nonsense is nothing more than the vision of somebody with crude and childish tastes who has too much time on his hands.

zetes Revolting work of a kind of classic European surrealist, deeply symbolist cinema. It kind of revels in disgustingness, the kind of disgustingness that makes it notable. But in the end, it all feels much ado about nothing. Taxidermia is made up of three parts, each representing three generations of a Hungarian family (and each generation symbolizing Hungary in the era in which it is set). The first takes place after WWII, where a perverted, cleft-lip soldier masturbates over a couple of cuties who wander about (he also shoots fire out of his penis -surely symbolizing something, but who cares what). He can only lay the local fat woman, though, and a slaughtered sow. The second generation is represented by a competitive eater. As gross as the first third of the film is, the second part was worse for me because it had about ten minutes of scenes where people were vomiting. I can put up with bestiality/necrophilia, but vomit is where I draw the line! The third section is almost a relief after the first two: the competitive eater's son is an expert taxidermist. His father is still alive, looking sort of like Jabba the Hutt, and he dominates his son's life, angry because his son didn't follow in his own footsteps, instead becoming a scrawny little man. The images throughout are certainly intriguing, but, after a while, it all looked like a particularly interesting heavy metal video.
