The Flesh (Italian: La carne) is a 1991 Italian drama film directed by Marco Ferreri. It was entered into the 1991 Cannes Film Festival.

Synopsis

Paolo a eu un idéal et même un métier, architecte. Mais aujourd'hui, écoeuré, insatisfait, il a tout plaqué. Il revoit le moins souvent possible son épouse, qu'il surnomme maintenant "la Hyène", et a l'impression que son chien lui est plus fidèle que ses deux enfants. Il reste désormais seul avec ses angoisses et gagne sa vie en jouant du piano et en chantant dans un bar, auprès de ses amis Aldo et Nicola,- le propriétaire, rongé par la maladie et l'alcool. C'est là qu'un soir il tombe en arrêt devant la sculpturale Francesca, tout juste rescapée d'une aventure éprouvante avec un jeune gourou qui n'avait pas encore atteint le stade de l'abstinence sexuelle. Paolo et Francesca partent ensemble vivre au bord de la mer une aventure amoureuse torride, ce qui exacerbe les pulsions du jeune homme : après que Francesca ait pratiqué sur lui une habile manipulation, il se retrouve victime d'une érection permanente.

His wife is in bed with a headache but has left him dinner, which has become cold. He is dissatisfied with the food and begins preparing himself a gourmet meal.
