This is Paul Verhoeven's best film in my opinion. Flesh+Blood more than any other film seems most true to the flavor of the period of the early 16th century. There is rape, plague, butchery, and religious fanaticism everywhere and it doesn't seem to ...

In Western Europe in 1501, a noble betrays the mercenaries he hired to help him seize a castle. This leads to the mercenaries, led by Rutger Hauer, seeking revenge on the noble by killing his men and kidnapping the woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) betrothed ...

This is not a "pretty fairy-tale" movie but a brutal honest film about how life was in 1500's. Paul Verhoeven does a fine job in casting Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tom Burlinson. Lots of chemistry !!!!!! Jennifer is torn between the bad ...

An epic adventure surrounding a band of mercenaries who are betrayed by a nobleman. Their revenge is to kidnap the fiancee of the nobleman's son. Then the real "fun" starts. This is not the usual love story as such and the "romantic triangle" is far from ...

The movie is an interesting & honest portrayal of 16th Century Europe, and it's people. As the old saying goes, "There's the way it ought to be, and then there's the way it is"; this movie is the way it was, and actually, the way it still is in some ...

This is a fantastic journey to the violence, despotism, and anarchy of the renaissance! Siege warfare, sadistic mercenaries, plague, looting, and rape, all in one movie, plus lots of very attractive nude women. We even have an interesting portal of ...

Let's hear it for the plague!!!The rat is back and ready to P A R T Y !!
"It's a dog..." is a quote from the movie, not the review. Two thumbs up,
among other things for the bath scene!!Now if only Monty Python had thought
up a siege tower in stead of a ...

One of the most outstanding performances in this film is that of Jason-Leigh, who plays Agnes. While Agnes grew up in a convent, unaware of the ways of the world, she's a damned fast study, and manages to pit Steven against Martin, Martin against Steven, ...

'Flesh And Blood' was made in 1985, so get ready for a VERY young Jennifer Jason-Leigh as Agnes, a maiden of noble blood on her way to her fiancé. Nobleman Arnolfini (Fernando Hilbeck) has decided its time for his book-headed son, Stephen (Tom ...
