We Are the Flesh
Tenemos la carne
After wandering a ruined city for years in search of food and shelter, two siblings find their way into one of the last remaining buildings. Inside, they find a man who will make them a dangerous offer to survive the outside world.
Why it matters
A visceral plunge into body horror and surreal decay that refuses to comfort or explain.
- Alejandro Jodorowsky’s spirit haunts this fever dream of flesh and desire, blending grotesque imagery with existential dread.
- Not for the faint-hearted: explicit, transgressive, and relentlessly confrontational in its exploration of survival and taboo.
- Perfect for fans of Mexican genre-bending auteurs like Amat Escalante and for those craving horror that smears the line between nightmare and arthouse.
- Practical effects and unsettling visuals create a tactile, suffocating atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
