Pleasures of the Flesh

Pleasures of the Flesh

2 Episodes

You are what you eat—literally—in this double helping of cannibal capers. Two desperate Arctic adventurers get, um, creative in order to survive in Ben Pearce’s deliciously macabre short A FEW MILES SOUTH, starring Toby Jones and Ivanno Jeremiah in a wordless duet of rapidly escalating weirdness. It’s the deadpan appetizer to the full-course black-comic transgression of Paul Bartel’s outré “me-generation” satire EATING RAOUL, with cult icons Bartel and Mary Woronov as the prudish couple who hit upon an unconventional scheme to realize their dream of opening a restaurant.
