2021 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 8 – Julia Ducournau’s Titane

Julia Ducournau landed in the 2016 edition of Critic’s Week section with her debut film Raw (she previously had shown her short Junior as well) and it quickly made ripples into waves – with a global reach that one would hope for. Her follow-up Titane which was acquired by Neon features an almost six pack version of Vincent Lindon and introduces first-time actress Agathe Rousselle in a mostly physical performance (not much dialogue with her character). We even have Raw‘s Garance Marillier in a memorable minor role. Marillier is also in her 2011 short.
