French director Julia Ducournau made her directing debut with Raw, a feminist horror movie about a vegetarian college student who develops taste for human flesh.
Titane, Ducournau’s second feature, follows Alexia, car-obsessed exotic dancer and sometime serial killer (played by first-timer Agathe Rousselle). On the run from the police, she breaks her nose and binds her breasts to pass herself off as Adrien, a boy who has been missing for years and whose father Vincent (Vincent Lindon) to accept him.
Alexia also has sex with — and is impregnated by — a Cadillac. But hiding her identity from her adopted father is made harder by her swelling belly and motor oil leaking from various parts of her body.
