Director Julia Ducournau is among the most challenging and unique filmmakers in the world. Her work on 2016’s Raw was deeply unsettling and yet entirely engrossing. The same could be said of the director’s new film, Titane, a film that matches Raw for every unsettling beat and perhaps out does Raw for outlandishness. Does that mean that Titane is entirely successful? Perhaps not, but it is undeniably memorable and teeming with ingenuity, dark wit, and bizarre insight into humanity and our desire to connect.
Titane tells the story of a little girl named Adrien whose life is forever changed by a car accident. Adrian was badly maimed in the accident in which she was tormenting her father from the back seat before removing her seatbelt and causing her father to swerve into an accident that threw Adrien’s head into a passenger side window. Adrien was lucky not to be killed. Instead, she came away with screws and metal plates in her head and torso.
