Julia Ducournau, Vincent Lindon & Agathe Rousselle on Titane | NYFF59

Director Julia Ducournau and lead actors Agathe Rousselle and Vincent Lindon discuss Titane, a Main Slate selection at NYFF59, with NYFF Director Eugene Hernandez.
The winner of the 2021 Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or, Titane is a thrillingly confident vision from Julia Ducournau that deposits the viewer directly into its director’s headspace. Moving with the logic of a dream-and often the force of a nightmare-the film begins as a kind of horror movie, with a series of shocking events perpetrated by Alexia (Agathe Rouselle, in a dynamic and daring breakthrough), a dancer with a titanium plate in her skull following a childhood car accident. However, once Alexia goes into hiding from the police, and is taken in by a grief-stricken firefighter (Vincent Lindon), Ducournau reveals her deployment of genre tropes to be as fluid and destabilizing as her mercurial main character. A feverish, violent, and frequently jaw-dropping ride, Titane nevertheless exposes the beating, fragile heart at its center as it questions our assumptions about gender, family, and love itself.

Agathe Rousselle's performance was incredible. I'm actually still a little terrified of her based solely on the film, but it's nice to see her smiling and laughing. Would love to see her do something incredibly different like a rom com or something... just so I don't have to be afraid of her anymore

I just came back from the theater after seeing Titane. Believe the hype!!!

I kinda hated it while watching it, but it grew on me afterward. Really special work. To me, the core theme was not just love, but love & trauma.

While watching it i could understand if i liked it or not, I was just in shock. 2 days after I listen to the soundtrack twice a day and have printed the poster on a hoodie. I FRICKIN LOVE IT

The way she talks about her film is an example of how European directors think and conceive their films. The process is not straightforward, formulaic and obvious but build on metaphors and through back alleys.

This movie was INSANE and I loved it sooooooo much. Just got home from it

[@l.p.5703]

I haven’t felt this way after watching a movie in a long time. I had to immediately rewatch. There are so many layers. I loved this movie.

[@Alazoom76]

Best movie for me of 2021 so far. Can't stop thinking about it.

[@Nola50]

One of the best films I have watched in years, directed by Julia Ducournau and winner of the Palme D’Or 2021. Julia had already gotten some eyebrows raised in 2016 after “Raw”. She raised the bar quite high with “Titane”.

[@IradAtzmon]

The most exhilarating movie of 2021. Wonderfully fucked up. Looking forward to Ducournau's next project

[@escdg7277]

Absolutely fantastic film. In my opinion, well deserved Palme d'Or. I know this film mix more genres, but for me was in first place a love story, and what an amazing love story!! Julia demostrate once again her amazing talent, Agathe make a role just fenomenal, absolutely outstanding; and Vincent, well, is an actor that plays in a superior league, he is the MVP of acting.

[@anne-sophiedecock6586]

I love Vincent he's a fantastic actor

Due to me not eating beforehand and the audio being so experimental, this movie caused me to faint just outside the theatre room, for about a minute. Then I went back in and saw the rest. It’s a movie I truly cannot get out of my head. I’ve had no history of fainting at all but this movie I guess managed to push me to that. I’m in love with this film. It’s something else. Truly special.

[@marianberges4814]

Amazing movie. Want to watch it again, which is strange because I couldn't watch so much of it!

[@erickx7802]

I'm here after watching the film and i can tell it was a weird but amazing experience, i feel the need to watch the movie once again.

[@LA-zb7kl]

My daughter and I watched this last night! It was wildly disturbing! It was craaaazy! I need to see raw!

[@avatriceforever]

today, i’m even more glad than ever that i was there. 🥳🍾🥂
