Keeping in mind most of these erotic film thrillers that show up on various streaming platforms aren't particularly erotic, Live Flesh is one of the few films in this genre that actually manages to mix eroticism and sex with an interesting story for a change.
The film is basically about the interactions of five characters, a paralyzed former police detective, his wife, his former partner, the partner's wife and the man who was responsible for the bullet that paralyzed the police detective. The film involves their relationships and interactions from the the time the detective was shot to the present and the consequences of that act.
The direction by Almodovar is about as good as you are ever going to see it. His skill with the actors, the camerawork and locations really elevate what is usually a tawdry and mediocre genre of film making into something good .
