Gyorgy Palfi’s incredible story of three generations of men and the biology that links them has earned itself praise from some of Australia’s top critics. And in an exciting development Reuters reports Taxidermia has been chosen as the central European country's contender for a foreign-language Oscar nomination.

This is what Luke Goodsell had to say when giving it four out of five stars in the latest issue of Empire:

“Squirmier than Saw and funnier than Knocked Up, director Gyorgy Palfi’s three generations of an unusual Hungarian family is as much grotesque-out comedy and dark rumination on man’s tragic biological trajectory. Seriously, where else could you find surreal inversions of corny world cinema mixed in with vomit-out-loud physical humour and grisly third act art-horror.”

“It’s actually the mere fact that this movie is disgusting that makes it so clever. You feel violated watching Taxidermia because their messing with something really personal to us - our bodies. And it just reinforces just how precious our bodies are to us. Taxidermia will test your stomach lining, but if you’re up for it, it could just be the cult DVD of the year.”
