Too Much Flesh

Kind of drawn in by the erotic scenes, only to realize this was one of the most amateurish and unbelievable bits of film I've ever seen. Sort of like a high school film project. What was Rosanna Arquette thinking?? And what was with all those stock characters in that bizarre supposed Midwest town? Pretty hard to get involved with this one. No lessons to be learned from it, no brilliant insights, just stilted and quite ridiculous (but lots of skin, if that intrigues you) videotaped nonsense....What was with the bisexual relationship, out of nowhere, after all the heterosexual encounters. And what was with that absurd dance, with everybody playing their stereotyped roles? Give this one a pass, it's like a million other miles of bad, wasted film, money that could have been spent on starving children or Aids in Africa.....

This film really opened my eyes as to what, Jean-Marc's dreams are. I wish that JM would make his film's available in the US. Too Much Flesh, is a wonder film that is very hard to understand.It took me watching it a few times to get what JM's concept was, in this film. If you can get past all the sex, and masturbation. You will see a deeper meaning in this film. All the pain and, the longing for love. I found that JM is truly one of the most convincing actors I have ever seen. He has convinced me!

i'm sorry, but this film was the worst possible waste of time i've ever had the unfortunate experience of viewing. an hour and a half of my life i will never get back. my boyfriend and i watch many movies, and being in paris, it's easy to see just about anything you'd want on the big screen. well, this time, we decided to settle in for a film. what a mistake. i'm from the midwest, and the only good thing about the movie were the shots of the land. otherwise, this movie should never have been made. they must have used actual people from rankin to act in this movie...there's no possible way a professional could act that terribly. the whole premise is so backwards and backwoods for that matter. i don't know..maybe there's something wrong with me. but i know i can (and do) appreciate good filmmaking and this just didn't do it for me. don't bother with it.

Yes, this was pure unbelievable condescending babble. We know that the French often have a skewed idea of the USA, it's puritanism and views towards sex. As an American (Hoosier) who lives in France, I have ample opportunity to observe these attitudes. And while some of these preconceived notions may be true, NOT ONE ELEMENT of the midwestern town portrayed in this film rang real. A man who has never had sex because he was told in high school 20 years prior that his penis is too big? Where in the world would you find that? A juke box in a bar that plays only vintage bluegrass? A town with maybe 16 people less than two hours away from Chicago, but with no major gas station, no Tvs in the home, no McDonalds, no kids... A population that knows each other's intimate details yet relentlessly gets together like one big family that hates each other. The adult males plant whoopee cushions at the local cafe, have farms but don't harvest, kill the guy they don't like in front of everyone and seem to get away with it, and all with equal emotion? The liberated French girl who will screw the 17 year old virgin boy because of her sexual generosity, the too much flesh guy who goes from getting off in cornfields by the mere breath of an Illinois breeze to helping deflower this same 17 year old farm boy? HELP! I am so baffled and astounded by the absurdity of this film that I am not expressing clearly how ridiculous it is. Go see it for the A-to-Z primer on what to avoid. Gosh, I hope I didn't ruin it for you!

The plot is somehow really exciting.. the environment is also ok. low budget production quality is also doesnt matter..

But the only thing matters is super bad direction n very awkward acting. it seems like they are rehearsing and they keep shooting it and made a movie. and soo many scenes with awkward silence. its like they are waiting for someone to do the lines.

Anyhow , its kinda good plot.. a man married to woman who had previous husband died in accident and she never got over with it . and even she promised herself or to GOD that she will keep continue to love her ex and no sex to current husband.. Soo many movies MISUSING religion.. its like clear propaganda by evil Hollywood or atheists to show the bad thing about religion. its in relgion. (every major) its a very most duty to fulfil the desire(sexual) of spouse whenever there is in need. and its a great sin if ones decline.

so furthermore, the husband want some action when his friend came alone with open minded french girl friend. and there he n she start some fun.

Ending of the movie is also very disappointing .. even if it comes to tragedy. if there would be a blood for adulterers. then there should be death of both husband lovers. but ,, that poor guy got smashed ONLY.
