We Are the Flesh

Two siblings find a man who offers them a dangerous deal to survive the outside world.

Trailer

Why watch this film?

Premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival in 2016, and awarded the following year with the Ariel for Best Actress Revelation (María Evoli), 'Tenemos la carne' is the kind of movie that divides opinion radically once the credits appear: from those who label it as an ironic and psychedelic ode to the moral decadence of contemporary Mexico, to those who qualify it as a collection of puerile attempts to provoke with vague metaphors, scatological images and gratuitous violence. It must be said, it won't tickle the followers of Pier Paolo Pasolini (‘Saló or the 120 Days of Sodom’) or Nagisa Ōshima ('The Empire of the Senses'), but those who like shocking images and loose or ambiguous narratives, there's something good here. On the other hand, Evoli and Noé Hernández are brutal (EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING).
