Leave your thoughts about Taxidermia.
| Premiere MagazineAaron HillisIn the grotesque storybook satire Taxidermia, Palfi's so-thought cynicism is merely observing plain (if sickeningly hilarious) truths about our excesses... an intense, disgusting, and probably brilliant experience. |
| Filmcritic.comChris CabinPálfi's fascination with the body -- its daily excretions and emanations -- borders on obsession |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanContains some of the most viscerally troubling images, it is the bravura leap of imagination and brilliant cinematic techniques that make it special |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinSurreal, grotesque and bitterly funny Hungarian art horror film ... aspires not to cult status as a torture porn totem but to the highest cinematic art.(It's not that, but give it points for trying.) |
| Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoAs sweeping in scope and vision as it is in viscera. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenBelongs to a school of Central European surrealism that marries nightmarish horror with formal beauty. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanDespite non-stop horror and perversity, nothing in the movie seems gratuitous. Its vision remains so comprehensive and convincing that it justifies everything that it puts you through. |
| Critic's NotebookMartin TsaiMr. Pálfi's grandiose vision and technical bravado are nothing short of mesmerizing, yet there are also plenty of tender moments amid the go-for-broke follies. |
| Eye for FilmAnton Bitelif the imagery is always grotesque, and if the characters are always reduced to their basest drives, Pálfi presents his carnivalesque concerns in an artfully aestheticised package that belies the ugliness within. |
| european-films.netBoyd van Hoeij[P]ulls out all the stops in a vicious attack on the senses that leaves no ugly truth about mankind unsaid -- nor unseen. It is a tribute to Palfi's talents that the film is also compulsively watchable. |
