A grotesque milestone in Hungarian filmmaking! 

Introducing Radiance/Chasm Films' Blu-ray (Region B) for 2006's Taxidermia. Written and directed by perhaps Hungary’s greatest working filmmaker, György Pálfi’s Taxidermia blends body horror, black comedy and astonishing aesthetic beauty to paint a fascinating portrait of Hungary from the 1940s to the twenty-first century.

In Hungary during World War II, Vendel Morosgoványi (Csaba Czene) indulges his outlandish sexual fantasies while stationed at an isolated military outpost. Decades later, his illegitimate child Kálmán Balatony (Gergely Trócsányi) has become a professional speed-eater who dreams of consuming his way to fame and fortune. Instead, he grows old and immobile, cared for by his son Lajoska Balatony (Marc Bischoff), a taxidermist determined to leave behind a great work of art when he dies.

IMPORTANT NOTE: An all-region Blu-ray player is required to view this movie. Standard U.S. Blu-ray players will NOT read Region B discs. If you're looking for a reliable all-region player, we've got you covered!
