- Synopsis
- Three stories. Three ages. Three men. Grandfather, father, son. One is an orderly, one is a leading sportsman, and one is a master taxidermist. One desires love, the other success, and the third immortality. The grandfather lives in his fantasies and on cold winter evenings he warms up his freezing little shed with his feverish dreams. Nothing can stop his fertile imagination. Th father stuffs himself. For four years he was the first in his section in the Confectionary Industry. He is still unbeatable in chocolate wafers with an individual record of 2.98 (just as a comparison Igor Vostongonoff was the European champion in Sophia with 3.21.). The son stuffs animals. He was born one and a half kilos. Now he has less than one and a half minutes left. He goes in for something that nobody has ever imagined before.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A brilliant, often grotesquely bizarre allegory on life in Hungary from World War II to the present."
-
"Belongs to a school of Central European surrealism that marries nightmarish horror with formal beauty."
-
"For a film so pessimistic about mankind, Taxidermia erupts with some light-hearted technical inspiration: Cinematographer Gergely Poharnok's compositions are wickedly hilarious"
-
"Frequently funny, for those who can stomach it."
-
"'Taxidermia' sets a benchmark for body horror in the cinema."
-
"Despite its stomach-turning images (and maybe because of), it is a daring, provocative work by a talented helmer who gets off pushing the envelope"
-
"Keeping it surreal has never been so nauseating and, at times, hilarious."
