Discussion of "Flesh and Fantasy"
Details
Flesh and Fantasy is a 1943 American anthology film that weaves together three distinct, supernatural-tinged stories, all framed by a philosophical conversation between two club members about the nature of destiny and the reality of fortune-telling. The movie explores the central theme of whether human lives are dictated by fate or free will, and the profound impact that predictions and dreams can have on an individual's psychology and subsequent actions. This approach blends romance, suspense, and the eerie, making it an early, atmospheric example of the episodic storytelling format in cinema.
