The Mexican horror film We Are the Flesh is apparently impressing some very important folk, including Alejandro Iñarritu (The Revenant) and Carlos Reygadas (Japón), which gives it some serious cred for distribution purposes. But what does Emiliano Rocha Minter’s movie tackle? What’s it actually about?
Well, a NSFW trailer has emerged and it dives deep into the film and what it has to offer. From what I can see, this movie looks incredibly intense, viciously aggressive, absolutely beautiful, and utterly confusing. I like it!
‘We Are the Flesh’ is set in a post-apocalypse Mexico, where a brother and sister, Lucio and Fauna, wander a ruined city for years in search of food and shelter. They find their way into one of its last surviving buildings, where a man makes them a dangerous offer to survive the outside world. As they help him transform the building into a womb-like cave, a disquieting sexual relationship emerges, along with a dynamic in which darker instincts do their destructive work.
You can watch the trailer below but, as I stated above, note that it’s NSFW, so be careful!
