#Julia ducournau body movie#
Holy Hell, that movie is deliciously dark and absolutely bonkers. Things I saw last night with TITANE are now burned into my memory and my anxious mind seems unable to think of anything else. The Hollywood Reporter calls the film a âbrash and ballsy experiment,â adding that in Titane, âthere are elements of body horror, female revenge films and pedal-to-the-metal car-obsessed movies.â Deadline adds: â Titane is ambitious, and not quite in Rawâs league, but itâs never dull.â On the other spectrum of the car puns, The Guardianâs Peter Bradshaw calls it âa car cashâŠwith occasional yucky flair.â He injects that Ducournau âis doing the same thing, but more facetiously and clumsily â if occasionally with a certain bizarre elan.â Vice calls it âa new gory masterpieceâ and to âprepare for carnage,â while IndieWireâs David Ehrlich adds: âDucournau follows Raw with one of the wildest films to ever screen at Cannes.â He continues: âDucournauâs follow-up to Raw is more than comfortable in its genre trappings, offering grab bag nods to past masters and positively delighting in sex, violence and grisly prosthetics as it chants âLong live the new fleshâ from the film worldâs toniest perch, inviting all gathered to join along.â Mega spoiler warning from TheWrapâs Ben Croll, who offers up a taste of the nasty first ten minutes: âA car crash, an up-close shot of open-cranium surgery, neon-lit car show girls twerking and grinding in hot pants, body modification, body scarification, girl-on-girl-flirtation, girl on-girl-copulation, girl-on-machine-copulation, boobs, bums, blood and barf, and about five gruesome murders.â âItâs a daringly queer and undoubtedly controversial ride, resulting in a most uncommon monster movie - a cross between David Cronenbergâs Crash and the uterine horrors of Takashi Miikeâs Gozu,â writes Varietyâs Peter Dubruge, who adds: âJulia Ducournau dares to challenge the boundaries of sexuality and taste with this bulletproof, nothing-to-lose body-horror shocker.â

Thatâs an understatement as the reviews for the film promise a head-turning shocker âabout a serial killer who has sex with a car.â ( IndieWire) The program says the plot follows a series of unexplained crimes where a father is reunited with the son who has been missing for 10 years. The car puns are turned to eleven with Raw director Julia Ducournauâs latest shocker, Titane (acquired by NEON), which just premiered at the ongoing Cannes festival to a mixed-bag of reviews.
