There is real artistry, and thought, at work here too.

A dazzling, horrifying, tender, often brilliant, occasionally baffling and always wildly singular vision of lives and bodies in transition.

Strange, frequently haunting, occasionally hilarious and ultimately masterful, Titane is a journey whose head-spinning complications are a vital part of its emotional impact.

Titane is a bit like a pet cat dropping a dead mouse at its person’s feet: It’s shocking, and kind of gross, but deep down, a loving gesture.

Ducournau dares to challenge the boundaries of sexuality and taste with this bulletproof, nothing-to-lose body-horror shocker.
