An embalmer of what?

Two films I saw on the weekend:

• In Her Shoes, a Cameron Diaz/Toni Collette film about sisterhood and family and growing up. Better than the rom-com I thought it was going to be, but not that good. I liked Collette in this, though – I like her in everything. But the rest felt like the predictable feel-good novel it reportedly was.
• Taxidermia, one of the strangest films I’ve ever seen. It’s a Hungarian film from 2006. IMDb’s plot outline says that it is a “grotesque tale of three generations of men, including an obese speed eater, an embalmer of gigantic cats, and a man who shoots fire out of his penis”. That outline is entirely accurate. It’s incredibly gory, sexual, foul-mouthed, repulsive, and funny. I have absolutely no idea what to make of it. Dino needs to see this film.
