Flesh was filmmaker Paul Morrissey's first production for Andy Warhol. The story concerns a bisexual hustler (Joe Dallesandro) who does tricks so that he can pay for his wife's lover's abortion. The film made headlines when it was confiscated by the police during one of its earliest showings in 1970. Though this event is unlikely to repeat itself, Flesh is still explicit enough to elicit gasps from even the most jaded of underground-film enthusiasts. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The first film Paul Morrissey directed for Andy Warhol, Flesh comes to DVD with a standard full-frame 1.33:1 transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. There are no subtitles on this release. Though the film lacks any special features, anyone with an interest in true underground, independent film will want to give this DVD a look. When Lou Reed sang, "Little Joe never once gave it away," in "Walk on the Wild Side," he was referring to this film's star, Joe Dallesandro. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
