A GREAT EPIC BY PAUL VERHOEVEN

“PAUL VERHOEVEN HAS KNOWN TO BRING THIS BAROQUE UNIVERSE TO LIFE WITH A RARE ENERGY.”
TELERAMA

Western Europe, 1501. A troop of mercenaries led by the charismatic Martin is hired by Lord Arnolfini to help him regain possession of his fief. In exchange, he allows them to take control of his city for twenty-four hours. But Arnolfini does not respect his promise and hunts the gang, who swear revenge. During this time, the lord brings the young Agnes whom he intends for his son Steven. The day of their meeting, the mercenaries attack the convoy. Remained hidden, Agnes finds herself in the hands of the terrible band of Martin...

Paul Verhoeven's first feature film shot in English, Flesh and Blood is one of the best historical adventure films ever made. In reaction to idealized representations of the Middle Ages, the director of Basic Instinct shows a brutal medieval Europe devoid of moral sense, where violence and sex reign supreme, anticipating the universe of the Game of Thrones . Carried by Rutger Hauer and the revelation Jennifer Jason Leigh, Flesh and Blood is a splendid piece of history and cinema to be found in its uncensored international version.

"HOW TO SURVIVE"
FLESH AND BLOOD BY OLIVIER PERE
WITH THE COLLABORATION OF FRANÇOIS COGNARD FOR THE FILMING PHOTOGRAPHS

“Paul Verhoeven's films abolish the boundaries that separate the body from the mind, the real from the imaginary, traversed by personal themes, obsessions and purely visual motifs that are the mark of the great creators of cinema. - Olivier Father

The question of survival is at the very heart of Flesh and Blood : it applies equally to all its heroes, who survive thanks to violence (Martin), seduction (Agnes) or science (Hawkwood, Steven) , than to its director Paul Verhoeven for whom the experience of the film was a lesson in artistic survival. An unpublished work by Olivier Père in collaboration with François Cognard, present on the set of La Flesh et le Sang for Starfix magazine, and accompanied by 40 archive photos.
