How can I like and not this film at all. I just don't really know what to say about this. Siblings feed into the depravity of humanity, by some insane man for food. That's the supposed story that can be deduced to. I felt emotionally disconnected to the proceedings after the movie veers off into an incoherent narrative. The insane man, Mariano, had something interesting to him, but, suddenly, we are plunged into supernatural incoherence. Lots of sex and symbolism kinda makes this film look pretentious. I wouldn't even want to say 'pretentious', because the film is pretty solid in its imagery and cinematography. But it's pretty much lacking in emotional resonance. Well, the symbolism could be that of insanity through pleasure, and how one would eat themselves and others while delving into insanity. One thing is that, I was not emotionally moved by the story. It was pretty confusing, and pretty insubstantial to warrant the need for another viewing to fully comprehend the narrative. Only, if there was one.

This film right here, it's by far one of the most surreal, nihilistic, & sexual theatrical experiences i've had. And that's kind of what makes it good? Aside from the confusing story, where this film takes the crown is it's unpredictability and it's cinematography. We Are The Flesh is just as confusing as it is shocking & beautiful. That being said, the plot itself lacks substance and an actual direction. If the ending could clear up how all of this takes place a little more, it'd make this experience a lot more complete.

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.
