French Film Festival: Titane (18)
Dir. Julia Ducournau, France, 2021, 108 mins, subtitled. Cast. Agathe Rousselle, Vincent Lindon, Garance Marillier, Laïs Salameh.
One of the most provocative Palme d’Or winners ever, Titane is a blast of lawless inspiration. 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. When her murderous tendencies make her a fugitive, she disguises herself as a boy and forms a bond with the chief of a firefighting unit (French A-lister Vincent Lindon, venturing far outside familiar territory). Gender fluidity, techno-sexual delirium and full-on violence take Titane into the far reaches of genre futurism. It’s extreme-dream cinema that pulls no punches in its metallic KO.
Please note: this film contains sequences that may affect those with photosensitive epilepsy.
