UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
trashgang Three different stories that are going to shock the viewer. I was warned but I have seen so many Japanese flicks that were sickening that this wasn't shocking at all but still for the 'normal' viewer this s a sickie.The first story shows us a man who is out to satisfy himself in so many ways with his cock. And of course male nudity is shown, some parts are funny (with the chicken) others are shocking.The second part is all about eating and vomiting and is shown, so for many it will be shocking again.Part three was or me the boring part. But still, it can be shocking for someOverall this is a weird flick that is made to offend the viewer and I n tell you, it will, and if you have a weak stomach, don't eat before watching this.Gore 1/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
kirawolfcub I will give this is a strange movie, and it might be because it's Hungarian, so the methodology for their horrors may be slightly different from American. I don't want to spoil anything and I will say it's not my kind of movie, but I did like that fact that thanks to QI, I understood one of the scenes where a lady and a doctor are staring at a frog. I do find it interesting how it follows the lives or more then just one person. That's generations it follows and it does express the depression professionals sometimes feel when their field of expertise is no longer appealing to the public eye. That being said, I have never understood speed-eating, but that's cause my gag factor tends to kick in easily. And trust me, this movie will pull on it at some point.
suspiria56 This brilliantly twisted triptych of three generations of related men may well be like nothing you have ever seen.Beginning with a low-ranked officer situated in a rural farmhouse in WWII, who despite being regimented to his cause, struggles to keep his sexual fantasies at bay. When he one day has (seemingly imaginary) rampant sex with the Lieutenants wife on top of butchered swine, she later gives birth to a baby boy with a pigs tail. We then see the boy as a grown adult, an internationally renowned speed-eater no less, and thus the second story unfolds. Circumstances dictate, producing the birth of another baby boy, which in turn leads us into the final act. To give further narrative detail away would be harsh, as there is much amusement to be had here.Stylistically reminiscent of the work of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (particularly his collaborations with co-director, Marc Caro) and the recent output of Roy Andersson. Yet this is an altogether darker fare. Imagine a more gross-out version of the BBC's League of Gentlemen series. With the themes and messages seeming to highlight societies desire to consume and control (and indeed to control our own urges), this has more in tone with the more subversive offerings of Bunuel, or Pasolini's Salo even (particular in the middle segment).Frequently hilarious, often stomach churning, Hungarian director György Pálfi has given us a surrealistic pillow to put our heads down upon.Just don't expect to eat very much immediately afterwards.
zetes Revolting work of a kind of classic European surrealist, deeply symbolist cinema. It kind of revels in disgustingness, the kind of disgustingness that makes it notable. But in the end, it all feels much ado about nothing. Taxidermia is made up of three parts, each representing three generations of a Hungarian family (and each generation symbolizing Hungary in the era in which it is set). The first takes place after WWII, where a perverted, cleft-lip soldier masturbates over a couple of cuties who wander about (he also shoots fire out of his penis -surely symbolizing something, but who cares what). He can only lay the local fat woman, though, and a slaughtered sow. The second generation is represented by a competitive eater. As gross as the first third of the film is, the second part was worse for me because it had about ten minutes of scenes where people were vomiting. I can put up with bestiality/necrophilia, but vomit is where I draw the line! The third section is almost a relief after the first two: the competitive eater's son is an expert taxidermist. His father is still alive, looking sort of like Jabba the Hutt, and he dominates his son's life, angry because his son didn't follow in his own footsteps, instead becoming a scrawny little man. The images throughout are certainly intriguing, but, after a while, it all looked like a particularly interesting heavy metal video.
