| Abstract | LIFELIKE explores the fascinating and increasingly-mainstream world of stuffing and mounting dead animals. The film follows several parallel stories: Dave and Calvin, rookies competing at the Canadian Taxidermy Championships for the first time; Jeff, a world-ranked taxidermist facing unexpected competition at the same championships; Ray, an old veteran who compares the art of taxidermy to that of Michelangelo; and Janie, a devoted animal-lover who decides to have her deceased Jack Russell Terrier freeze-dried. All this, plus a detour through the basement of Benoît Brossard, a major hunting-trophy collector who unconsciously raises some ethical dilemmas as he ponders the future of his collection. |
