 Political Film Society - The School of Flesh
The School of Flesh, the English translation of the film L’Ecole de la Chair, is based on a novel not yet translated into English by Yukio Mishima, whose gay proclivities came to an end though suicide in 1970.
The film, released in France in 1998 and shoehorned into art theatres in the United States in 1999, is directed by Benoît Jacquot.
Although the film focuses on the repeated emotional stress of the woman, in the end he is the one whom the film has not really understood, and our intuition seems to predict that the story is far from over; indeed, we leave the theatre begging for a sequel.

 [KFCC] Guinea Pig : Flower of Flesh and Blood Review
In a widely-heard urban legend, actor Charlie Sheen saw this film and thought it to be a real snuff film and got the FBI involved in the case.
Throughout the whole film, you'll ask yourself why in the hell are you watching this (if you haven't already done it when you purchased this film).
It's a "Making of Guinea Pig Films" which documents and outlines the making of "Devil's Experiment", "Flower of Flesh and Blood", and devoting a lot of time to "He Never Dies." The "making-of" proves to be a look into the technical genius of each film.

 Flesh (1968) - Andy Warhol
Both Paul and Joe were there and came up with an idea for a film that would be about a boxer, incorporating some of the stories that Joe told Paul about his life or the people he had met on the street.
Flesh was shot mostly on weekends during August/September 1968 at a cost of approximately $1,500.00.
The film also marked the debut of transvestite superstars Candy Darling and Jackie Curtis who Andy had met on the streets of Greenwich Village in August of 1967.

 Lunacy in the flesh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Like many of Almod—var's films, "Live Flesh" is something of a human cartoon, but here that very over-the-top aesthetic is completely at odds with his screenplay's attempt to tell a dramatic and far more straightforward psychological thriller.
There's nothing at stake for his characters, but the movie seems to think that there is. It causes the characters' reactions to their increasingly tragic circumstances to seem nearly as implausible as the motivationless actions that put them there in the first place.
This film is typically Almod—var and that is what is entirely wrong with "Live Flesh." Since his last film, the mature and wonderful "The Flower of My Secret," Almod—var has been trying to transcend his reputation as Spain's cinematic bad boy, but he is still one of cinema's most flamboyant stylists.

 MrFulci's Movie Reviews; Weasels Rip My Flesh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This was apparently filmed while he was attending high school, and for a film made by someone attending high school it's not bad.
During the middle of the film two detectives are investigating the recent murders, while investigating an area the two detectives are apprehended by a man carrying a pistol, he takes the two detectives to his underground hide-out.
Weasels Rip My Flesh is not a film for everyone, a viewer has to be prepared, all I can suggest is that you think of this film as a home movie.

It isn't an erotic film either, although there are various explicit sex scenes, natural and didactic, and the story takes place in the field of bare carnal desire.
Almodovar's film is about a number of relationships that have their origin in a tragic incident.
This is a film about a poor man, a rich woman and a couple of policemen, but nothing substantial is made of any of the social relationships.

 miaminewtimes.com | | Film | Spirit Willing, Flesh Unsure | 1998-02-12
Live Flesh is saddled with a problem that's hard to wish away: It lacks both the shiny surfaces that enlivened the director's early films and the depth of character that allows us, in a traditional movie, to identify, empathize, or connect psychologically.
The film begins with a tense, anarchic scene of childbirth aboard a moving bus near Christmas, at the tail end of Franco's regime.
About 50 minutes into Live Flesh, it's still not clear where the movie is headed, and not because it's so surreal or loopy -- this is among the most conventional films Almodovar has made -- but because both the characters and the story fail to cohere.

For those born after the advent of the wheel, the concept of youth-guidance films are primed for hipster revival.
For the film's many faults, none is so troubling as this: Kenan and Milan's love is explored so slightly that Milan's departure, which should be the film's emotional turning point, is flat, and all that follows feels more academic than moving.
This film, the story of a pack of emotionally damaged Vietnam vets gutting out their lives in seclusion in the woods of Washington State, is set up to be critic-proof.

 Film & TV: The School of Flesh (Austin Chronicle . 05-24-99)
The School of Flesh is a provocative film, but not in the way its title suggests; the nakedness depicted here is more one of emotion than bare skin.
The School of Flesh is fascinating when depicting complicated people who mutually manipulate and hurt each other for different purposes; you never really know what to think of them.
As the film's object of desire, newcomer Martinez imbues Quentin with equal measures of self-assured man and bruised boy.

 Flesh Gordon Interview 5
Steve: I really didn't hear about this film until I was in college, since when it came out I was 17 and wasn't the kind of kid to sneak into movies I was legally too young to see.
I had already decided that the film's future was not as a "porno" and I readily accepted.
The film was finished and a screening at the MGM preview theatre was a huge success.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Paulina
The film, which took 10 years to make, was shot partly in 16mm and partly on video, and is made up of both interviews — with the real Paulina, her family, friends, and enemies — and dramatic reenactments of key events in her life.
The film moves seamlessly from such scenes to earlier and later times, always dominated by the forceful presence of the present-day Paulina, whose stories told to the filmmakers form the basis of the movie and whose rich voice we often hear in overdub even when she's not on camera.
The film presents these scenes in an almost mocking melodramatic style that emphasizes Paulina's tragedy but also the strength and humor that allowed her to survive it.

 Film & TV: Flesh Wounds (The Boston Phoenix . 02-16-98)
Live Flesh finds one of film's most outrageous artists in the midst of his mature period.
As in his previous film, The Flower of My Secret, Pedro Almodóvar has gracefully surrendered some of the frantic, impetuous camp of his youth for the more trenchant human insights of experience.
The director bookends the film with two Christmas miracles, the birth of Victor on a bus in the shuttered, empty streets of the fearful Franco era, and the birth of Victor's child in a traffic jam in bustling present-day Madrid.

 DVD Times - Zombie Creeping Flesh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Between roughly the mid-1950s and the late 1980s, the Italian commercial film industry was one of the glories of European culture, churning out a phenomenal number of films in every conceivable genre, mostly shamelessly ripped off from other films.
Made in 1981, it's a near-perfect example of the Italian exploitation film in that it cheerfully rips off almost every significant genre entry over the previous three or four years and does it so shamelessly that you at least have to admire its cheek, if nothing else (believe me, there is nothing else!).
Indeed, it's arguably better than the film deserves - the source print is in excellent condition (you really have to look hard for spots and scratches) and although there are quite a few colour shifts and some shots are grainier than others, they're squarely down to the original materials, especially the interpolated wildlife footage.

 FLESH AND BONE - DVD
Steve Kloves' follow-up to his exceptional The Fabulous Baker Boys is Flesh and Bone, a dark-hued journey through the Southern Gothic that represents career pinnacles for Meg Ryan and (until The Royal Tenenbaums) Gwyneth Paltrow.
Flesh and Bone is an uncompromising and thoughtful examination of the insidious ways in which the sometimes-literal sins of the father infect the lives of subsequent generations.
One of the great forgotten films of the 1990's, Flesh and Bone is, sadly, Kloves' last film as a hyphenate (he's been relegated of late to screenplay adaptations--one good (Wonder Boys), one not (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone))--no doubt banished from behind the camera for the box office failure of this film.

 filmcritic.com Movie Review: Flesh Eating Mothers
I'd say it's obvious that Flesh Eating Mothers is not intended to be taken seriously in any vein, but unfortunately it's not apparent that anyone involved with the production is actually in on the joke.
The film is a simple splatter flick: In a small, anonymous town, the mothers all suddenly turn into cannibals, chewing apart their children and husbands.
Flesh Eating Mothers is so bad that no one involved with the film in any substantial way has ever made another movie since its release.

 Guinea Pig - Flowers of Flesh And Blood
On said film, a man dressed in traditional Samurai garb slowly and methodically dismembers an unknown female victim who's bound to a table and unable to fight back.
Flowers of Flesh and Blood certainly isn't something you're going to put on when your in-laws come for dinner, but it's certainly worth a watch for anyone with an interest in the mondo/death film genre (though this is all, thankfully, faked footage) and those who are into convincing gore effects.
The film was shot on video, and as such, there are certainly limitations as to how good it can sound, but for the most part, background noise and hiss is pretty much gone and there aren't any real issues worth complaining about.

There are a couple of interesting revelations about the relationship between Eddie and Mark, and a couple of equally important reveals about guns that may or may not function once their triggers have been pulled.
As the film wears on, several minutes are dedicated to Mark blowing up at his friends over the fact that he may get busted for shooting Eddie, a subplot which simply isn’t necessary as it has no payoff.
Somewhere in here are two films that could have been quite good — a comedy about people dumb enough to sign release forms and end up on "Cops," and a moody piece with a couple of nice twists.

 Live Flesh (Carne Trémula): Cinephiles Movie Review
Set amidst the modernity of Madrid, Spain, Almodóvar's film is populated by fallible --yet passionate-- characters.
In spite of the morbidness of the conflicts which arise, "Live Flesh" captures each character's liveliness and spontaneous individuality adding thrills of dark humor, so characteristic of Almodóvar, to their relationships.
A most interesting aspect of the film (an adaptation of Ruth Rendell's novel) is the degree to which the characters' extraordinary transformations unreel the plot in moving (and always unexpected) ways.

 Xiibaro Reviews: The School of Flesh, Run Lola Run, Detroit Rock City, Bowfinger
Recent films like Pleasantville and Arlington Road have given away the endings to their films (in the case of Pleasantville, the audience is practically shown the final scene in its entirety!).
The film is what could easily be considered the quintessential filmmakers' film: a film that gets to show off the ability of its director, cinematographer, editor, writer, and actors without being filled with constant explosions and atrocious distractions.
Much of what is said in the film is simply told through body movement (in other words, if subtitles distract you, stay away from the film) and that only causes the actors to show off more prowess than a script that just draws a map of the film.
