Full Plot Details

Geri (Geraldine Smith) ejects her husband Joe (Joe Dalessandro) from bed, and insists he go out on the streets to make some money for her girlfriend's abortion. This leads to Joe's various encounters with clients on the streets of New York City: an Artist (Maurice Bradell) who wishes to draw Joe, a Gymnast (Louis Waldon), and another 'John' (John Christian). Joe spends time with other hustlers, one of whom is played by his real life brother, and teaches the tricks of the trade to the New Hustler (Barry Brown). Back home, Joe interacts with his real life one-year-old son. Joe gets back home, presumably at the end of his duty work, and is in bed with Geri and her girlfriend Patti (Patti D'Arbanville). The women strip Joe and begin to get intimate with each other; Joe gets bored and falls asleep.

Movie Reviews

MovieMartyr.com - 10/10 by Jeremy HeilmanBy comparison to the aimless young adults of Flesh, the troubled teens in any given Larry Clark film seem downright motivated.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzFlesh offers a funny look at the underbelly of the city.
Shadows on the Wall - 7/10 by Rich ClineThe way Morrissey keeps things natural and real is both bracing and important
Financial Times - 6/10 by Peter AspdenFlesh is strikingly redolent of its time: morally vacant, stylish, lightweight, daring, but also dreary. It represents everything people both love and hate about the 1960s.
User Review - 10/10 by Sync MOne of the Paul Morrissey genre that characterises Warhol
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen FA heap of human flesh lies asleep on a red pillow. This is the hunk of naked meat that is "Little Joe", a New York hustler who lives with his bisexual wife and baby child. The film follows a day in his life, after he's woken from sleep by his wife demanding that he go out and do the traditional male thing - be a breadwinner. But the use she wants to put the bread to is to pay for her new girlfriend's abortion. We certainly aren't in the traditional family unit here... After playing with his child, Joe hits the streets to cruise for johns. The clients come thick and fast: the ordinary gay man who wants to meet him again because they "work well together", the old English classical scholar who pays $100 to see Joe pose like an ancient Greek athlete; the female topless dancer who blows Joe then boasts about being raped; the ageing gym bunny who doesn't think that what he and Joe do together is queer. After a hard day's work, Joe returns home exhausted, only to be put down by his wife and the girlfriend. He goes back to sleep as they harp and undermine him. Flesh is fascinating as it takes what is a traditional classical mainstream structure - it has an inciting incident (the money for the abortion) and set-up, a confrontation and a resolution (albeit a very downbeat one), even a protagonist with a strongly motivated goal, and then proceeds to concentrate on the details of the day to day routine of these people who are perfectly ordinary to themselves but extraordinary to most "mainstream" people. It all seems very authentic and natural - it's hard to see the acting, the actors are so fully being their roles - but yet the whole thing is a piece of cunning artifice - a beautifully drawn portrait or an intricately carved statue. Director Morrissey carefully plants every incident, every encounter around his theme of human flesh become packaged commodity but with such cunning slight of hand that you almost don't notice him doing it. The wife "packages" Joe's sexual organ, the old Englishmen laments a long gone order of classical beauty which created art and poetry from human fleshly beauty, the transvestite friends of the stripper package themselves as women whilst reading a Hollywood magazine in which "real" women are packaged as products; the gym bunny buys Joe's friendship and affection, thinks artificial porn is real and can't tell, as we can't, that Joe is performing his friendship and intimacy for the cash. The film itself presents itself as the ne plus ultra of cinematic realism but what we might as well be dealing with here is fine art or an early example of concept art. The genius - a word not lightly used - of Morrissey was to find a way of taking Warhol's arty pretensions to filmmaking, which were interesting sure but boring as hell, and making them into saleable products which remain amongst the most intriguing works of cinema art ever made - commercial cans labelled "Flesh" and "Trash" and "Heat" with a product label - "Andy Warhol" - which sells an idea about the product as much as the product itself. Yet just as you reel from Morrissey's cynicism, you are spellbound by his ability to still maintain the highest of standards and depth of meaning. The constant what seem like camera flashes continually draw attention to the filmic nature of what one is witnessing, yet you get drawn into the illusion all the same - Flesh is surely one of the most extraordinary pieces of cinema magic to ever spellbind an audience.
User Review - 10/10 by Sylvester KAnother Paul Morrissey film. I could rate these types of films forever cause the memory is so sweet! Loved it. ð???
User Review - 10/10 by Luis Diego RA movie about everything the 60's brought to us, a summary of a Warhol experience: full of sexuality, drugs, lust, and art. A milestone for future underground filmmakers, originally shot and edited is a minimalistic way. And the cast can't get any better, full of Warhol superstars. Joe Dallesandro, Patti D'Arbanville, Candy Darling. This movie is an essential piece of art for anyone who loves the 60's.
User Review - 10/10 by Pete BThe very sexy Joe Dallesandro is playing a hustler in this Andy warhol factory film, he is art at it's best
User Review - 10/10 by C.J. A'Flesh' is the result of a bunch of horny, curious, compassionate thinkers playing around with a camera like it's a toy truck. And man, is the result something to behold.
