Taxidermia

A strange young man takes his familys long tradition of bizarre behavior to new heights (or depths) in this wildly perverse and explicit horror comedy from director Gyorgy Palfi.Kalman Balatony (Gergo Trocsanyi) is a grotesquely fat gentleman who was fathered by an angry hospital orderly getting revenge on his boss by having sex with his wife. While the embittered husband killed the orderly when he was caught in the act, Kalman was born as a result of the wifes indiscretion. When he grows to adulthood he earns a modest fame as a competitive-eating champion. At an eating contest, Kalman meets a female competitor, the freakish Gizi (Adel Stanczel), and the two fall in love. Kalman and Gizi marry, and she gives birth to a son, Lajos (Marc Bischoff), who grows up to be just as skinny as his parents are fat. Lajos studies taxidermy and takes up preserving animals as a career when he isnt busy taking care of his elderly and increasingly massive father. Lajos also raises a handful of unusually large housecats, and when they begin to turn on their master, Lajos uses his talents to keep them around the house without the danger of their bothering anyone. TAXIDERMIA received its North American premiere at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival.
