György Pálfi, in his film Taxidermia (2006), narrates three main political period of Hungary covering more than a hundred year through the story of a family's three male generations. The narrative is built on the bodies of these characters which are shaped by dominant political ideologies. Throughout the movie, the director uses human bodies, animal bodies and places that appear as parts of those bodies in various ways. Putting forth these various usages, the study aims to make a detailed analysis of the movie which is considered presenting a good example of body usage for meaning making in cinema. Three political eras become apparent in the bodies of the three generations. Throughout the movie, director makes analogies between these bodies many times symbolizing three diverse political periods by showing their inner contradictions, their existence in places and relationships with other bodies. These analogies prove that all political systems and ideologies have similar dominant and decisive roles on human body. The active role of political power in everyday life, which becomes visible in different bodies throughout the movie, holds a significant position in the film narrative. In this study, the movie and its layered structure will be analysed by referring to some body studies, and the help of ideological readings and formal examinations. Thus, it will be possible to see an example of power narrative built on the body and its cinematic language.
