Flesh, Edouard Salier, 2005
The Empire unveils everything but sees nothing
Its enemies idealize everything but tolerate nothing.
For some the earthly orgasm of virtual whores,
For others the eternal orgasm of 70 heavenly virgins.
What if it all came down to flesh?
Hallucinatory re-imagining of the 9/11 attacks (YouTube – possibly probably NSFW, depending of course on what it is that you do). This is causing much confused debate around the place; Xeni seems to think that it’s meant to be pornographic; I don’t agree. FLESH uses (softcore) pornographic imagery to an altogether different end. The statement at strikebackfilms makes the intention of the film very clear, but it’s hardly surprising, given the subject matter and the treatment, that a lot of people will misunderstand it, wilfully or otherwise…
MeFi somehow manages to sidetrack itself into a discussion of slug porn.
