TITANE
I saw a Letterboxd review for TITANE (trailer here) that nailed it, calling it “the most f*cked up wholesome movie.” Written and directed by Julia Ducournau—the second female director to win the Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or—this film made me laugh, cringe, hide my eyes, watch with rapt attention, and feel all of the feelings. That’s what I want most in a movie: for it to elicit a wide array of emotions in just a short time—in this case, 108 minutes. And if you look beyond the violence and grotesque imagery that makes TITANE a true body horror, you’ll find an honest and resonant story about parenthood, self-acceptance, and unconditional love. But if you decide you’d like to embark on the wild journey that is watching this film, buckle up, because it’s quite the ride.
