Dark horror fantasy We Are the Flesh begins U.S. theatrical engagement on January 13th
Genre film distributors Arrow Films have announced the January 2017 theatrical roll-out of director Emiliano Rocha Minter’s acclaimed festival favorite We Are the Flesh, an engagement that will span ten cities across the United States. Visionary, unrelenting, and not for the feint of heart, Rocha Minter’s provocative and explicit creation is an erotic inferno of the senses that manages to pack all manner of delirium into its short running time. We Are the Flesh will open in Los Angeles at Laemmle’s Ahrya Fine Arts Theatre January 13th and in New York City on January 20 at Cinema Village.
We Are the Flesh will also open for week-long runs in Laredo and San Antonio on January 13, Denver and New Orleans on January 20, and San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Columbus on January 27.
Special screenings include El Paso, Houston, Phoenix, Cleveland, Portland and Albuquerque throughout January and February.
Hailed by Oscar-winning Mexican directors Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity) and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu (The Revenant), We Are the Flesh stars Noé Hernández as a post-apocalyptic hermit eager to transform the ashes of the world and María Evoli and Diego Gamaliel as the starving siblings under his thrall.
We Are the Flesh has since screened at festivals around the world, including Sitges, Fantastic Fest, Telluride, the Vancouver International Film Festival and more, picking up the Séquences Award for Best Film at Fantasia and nominations for Best First Film and the FIPRESCI Prize at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
Synopsis: After the end of the world, a young brother and sister roam an apocalyptic city looking for food and shelter. They take refuge in the dilapidated lair of a strange hermit who makes them a dangerous offer to survive. He puts them to work building a bizarre cavernous structure, where he acts out his insane and depraved fantasies. Trapped in a maddening womb-like world under his malign influence, they find themselves sinking into the realms of dark and forbidden behavior.
