We Are the Flesh (2016)

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This should probably be the worst movie I've ever seen. I guess luckily for the filmmakers, it's not. It's not really a horror film, and it's not really an art film. It's just kind of dumb and scatological. It made me laugh a few times, but I really don't feel like it was trying to be funny.I'm going to forget everything about this movie, save for a particularly out of place impression of a balloon squeaking out its air, which is genuinely hilarious.

This is a strange movie to say the least. I read some choice words from the director after I watched the movie and I'd still say that there is more to it than just the flesh you'll get to see. And you are going to see a lot of flesh and skin. This is very explicit to say the least. The three main characters have a strange relationship to each other and our main older guy is coming off as a creep.But as I stated before, this was done to shock and also to appall, but also to really mess people up. You probably will have mixed feelings about the movie or just downright hate it. A movie that can create such passion in the viewer might be onto something. It's not about enjoying what you watch (especially the scenes of sexual nature are not really there to arouse, but rather to make one uncomfortable), but being taken someplace you don't want to be. It feels like this tries to convey a state of society that has gone way too far ... or maybe I'm reading too much into it ...

Wish I could say it wasn't that bad, I like it, or rather parts of it.When I saw the poster at a local theater I was thinking this was going to be a Si-Fi horror film. Even the synopsis gave me this ideal, and it was horrifying but more in a human way rather than super natural.So two kids end up in a place were they meet a man whose out of his mind and the three have bizarre sexual encounters with one another.I did like the crazy dude in the film, he was disturbing in that horrific sort of way.Plus, I can't give a movie to low of a score considering it had so much awesome nudity and strong sexual content in it (Just being honesty).But what I was expecting from the small paragraph that help me get interested in seeing the movie was not what I ended up seeing. I felt the ad campaign was met to be a metaphor of something. We Are the Flesh is very similar to M. Night Shyamalan's the Village in that all it's not what it seems, but with far less story (Or no story at all cause I really have no idea what this movie is about or trying to say).When the movie starts and I realizes that it's a very small indi film in a foreign language I was expecting far more talking, but a lot of what I got was interpretive movement and in your face nudity (Which is where I think the actual name of the film was met to be about).So I'm into hard core sex in mainstream movies but whatever the filmmakers wanted me to feel by watching this experimental feature I did not feel (Unless they wanted me to feel horny).

I read a lot about this film before seeing it, and not many people had anything nice to say about it. It's being regarded as a crime against humanity! With that, I don't agree. I found the beginning to have been very well acted and the theme was setup well. Then, it just goes off the rails in some surrealist artsy-fartsy direction that loses grip on what it was about in the first place (freedom = exploring the dark corners of your mind and embracing your taboo). It's not nearly as controversial as Serbian Film or Nekromantik, so if that's the hangup, people need to get over themselves. You spend 59 minutes of the 79 minute film not really knowing what is going on. All you can do is take in the pretty camera-work, which I thought was excellent. The musical selection was also really good. Basically, I wanted to hate this, but I'm able to easily find some noteworthy aspects to prevent me from throwing it away altogether. This film is a bold slap in the face to the big studios who put out the same exercises in banality week after week. When you see the same romantic comedy and superhero movie over and over again, filmmakers tend to try to shock to get attention. Clearly We Are The Flesh accomplished that in spades with a mediocre film.
