Taxidermia (2006) is a Hungarian film directed by György Pálfi. It tells the story of three generations of men in a Hungarian family, and the strange and sometimes shocking events that occur in their lives. The film is known for its explicit sexual content, which is often used to explore the characters’ inner lives and relationships.
The first generation of the family is represented by the grandfather, Kálmán, a taxidermist who is obsessed with preserving the dead. He is a lonely man who finds solace in his work and in his relationship with a prostitute, whom he visits regularly. The second generation is represented by the father, Lajos, a competitive athlete who is determined to win at all costs. He is a womanizer who has numerous affairs, and his relationship with his wife is strained. The third generation is represented by the son, Feri, a morbidly obese man who is obsessed with food.
The film contains several explicit sexual moments, which are used to explore the characters’ inner lives and relationships. In one scene, Kálmán visits his prostitute and they engage in a passionate sexual encounter. In another scene, Lajos has an affair with a woman he meets at a party. The scene is shot in a voyeuristic style, with the camera lingering on the couple’s intimate moments. In yet another scene, Feri is shown eating a large amount of food while watching a pornographic film.
Taxidermia is a unique and provocative film that uses explicit sexual moments to explore the characters’ inner lives and relationships. The film is not for the faint of heart, but it is an interesting and thought-provoking exploration of human sexuality.
