Taxidermia by Gyorgy PalfiAdam Nayman in the LA Weekly:

"The absence of Béla Tarr’s The Man from London from the 7th Hungarian Film Festival of Los Angeles is a bit perplexing: Shouldn’t a program devoted to a national cinema include a new work by its greatest living director? Let’s be fair and assume that there are good reasons for Man’s absence (and briefly note that it’s second-tier Tarr besides) and focus on what is here — a varied slate of titles slanted toward the mainstream."

Nayman goes on to (partially) praise Krisztina Goda’s comedy Just Sex and Nothing Else, Agnes KocsisFresh Air, and Gabor Herendi’s Lora.

Now, György Pálfi’s Taxidermia sounds like anything but mainstream. This Mondo Bizarro comedy follows three generations of weird men, including one who shoots fire out of his penis.
