10 YEARS AT THE MOVIES: BEST MAKEUP DESIGN - IVAN POHARNOK (TAXIDERMIA)


Palfi Gyorgy's delightfully deranged 2006 black comedy about three generations in one seriously sick family is notable for many artistic and thematic reasons. Palfi doesn't skimp on any of the grimmest, grossest details in his outlandish tale, and is aided immeasurably by his exceptionally talented makeup team in creating the special effects required to do so. Like all the best artistic work in film, it's equal parts great design and great execution, and is one of the many great reasons to see this entertaining, memorable Hungarian film.
