"There is real artistry, and thought, at work here too."- The Times ★★★★
One of the the most provocative Palme d’Or winners ever, and only the second for a female director, Titane is a blast of lawless inspiration.
"Julia Ducournau Follows ‘Raw’ with the Wildest Palme d’Or Winner Ever"- Indiewire
French filmmaker Ducournau dazzled with cannibal-themed debut Raw, but goes way further in her genre-shattering follow-up. Unnerving newcomer Agathe Rousselle plays Alexia, a young woman who – following an accident in her childhood – has an unusual bond with cars, consummated by a strange encounter with one of the vehicles she writhes on in her job as a motor show dancer.
"In an era when nearly everything that can be done on film already has been, Titane forges something sensational from nerve and pure metal, and makes it new." Entertainment Weekly
When her murderous tendencies make her a fugitive, she disguises herself as a boy and forms a very ambivalent bond with the chief of a firefighting unit (French A-lister Vincent Lindon, venturing way outside familiar territory). Gender fluidity, familial subversion, techno-sexual delirium and full-on violence take Titane (French for titanium) into the far reaches of genre futurism, with Ruben Impens’ cinematography pushing a trash-pulp aesthetic to a hyper-sophisticated new level.
"The jaw-dropping new film from the young French director Julia Ducournau is even more fearsomely transgressive than her blood-soaked last"-The Telegraph
It’s extreme-dream cinema that pulls no punches in its metallic KO.
