Paul Morrissey y el Underground americano
CARNE
(Paul Morrissey, EE.UU., 1968, 105 min., v.o.s.e.)

Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.
Joe es un joven yonqui adicto a la heroína. Consciente de su belleza, vende su cuerpo para ganar el suficiente dinero que permita pagar el aborto de la amiga de su mujer. Desnudos frontales, sexo, drogas y mucha libertad de expresión en plenos años setenta se dan cita en esta famosa cinta apadrinada y producida por el rey de la cultura «pop» neoyorquina Andy Warhol.
