The French director is known best for her debut feature Raw, which sent arthouse cinemas and multiplexes into a frenzy.
It's taken her five years to follow that brilliant body horror with another one; a movie that's already been described byis a heart and head-thumping visceral masterpiece that, in some ways, even Julia downplayed before it had its first screening. The plot line relatively simple: a series of murders, followed by the story of a man meeting his son for the first time after a decade apart.
Fast forward a decade or so, and we're a nightclub with exotic dancers that also looks a lot like a showroom for souped up cars. Young women – including Alexia, played by Agathe Rousselle, and Justine, played by– writhe around in barely-there bikinis and fishnets, soaping themselves up and grinding on bonnets under the leery eyes of several dozen men. As the night wraps, said men flock to them in admiration.
Those violent events, as we've come to expect from Julia, are rancid and disturbing; some using sound design for you to imagine their impact and others that show you the full version of what's unfolding: think impaled boys, self-inflicted nose breaks and intense nipple play. Some audience members at the Cannes press screening walked out in disgust.
There is a lot more going on here, stories much deeper, complex and shocking than what we’ve unpacked, but this violent riot of a masterpiece, about cars and sex and masculinity as performance, deserves the right to surprise you. Prepare for carnage,‘Titane’ premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2021, and will be released in US cinemas by Neon and UK and Ireland by Altitude soon. It is in French cinemas now.
