    • Synopsis
    • Julia Ducournau's film (Raw, 17th NH) begins with an emotional explosion, after which the tension continues to rise through the final second of this amazing story, attacking all the senses. Titane bursts the screen, demolishing genre boundaries, breaking into male film fantasies, and popping the balloon of our expectations. Alexia (Agathe Rouselle) has titanium implants, bad memories and an extremely seductive body that does not shrivel, refuses to be liked and demands it be loved. Her life is like the Paris-Dakar Rally: you are desperately fighting to survive and you never know what's around the corner. Maybe a fairy tale? Maybe a horror movie? Melodrama? A Feminist parable about inner transformation? Impossible as it may seem, Titane manages to melds the imaginations of David Cronenberg, Luc Besson and Claire Denis as Docournau flawlessly combines seemingly distant worlds and styles.
