Writer/Director Julia Ducournau speaks about her Palme D'Or-winning film TITANE with moderator Carlos Aguilar. Recorded at the Landmark in Los Angeles on 10/1/21.
TITANE: A metal highly resistant to heat and corrosion, with high tensile strength alloys, often used in medical prostheses due to its pronounced biocompatibility. Julia Ducournau, the director of Raw, delivers “a heart and head-thumping visceral masterpiece” (i-D) that's “dazzling, horrifying, tender, brilliant” (Time Out).

One of the best films I have watched in years. Julia had already gotten some eyebrows raised in 2016 after “Raw”. She raised the bar quite high with “Titane”. It is one of those films that keeps you thinking about even days after watching it. Less than a handful have exerted that impact on me so far. Granted! It is not for everybody, it is unconventional, aggressive, cathartic to the point that it easily gets the viewer off the comfort zone. The leading actress speaks no more than ten words in the whole film. You do not need words when a look, tears, dance can speak for themselves. Body expression is centrally powerful in the film. And the music from “Future Islands” does the rest of the trick. “But I've seen the way That bodies lie and bodies tend to break And I've been away I've been away too long Too long to be afraid” “And this is where we were When I showed you the dark Inside of me, in spite of me On a bench in the park You said to me: This is not you” “And this is where we are In your bed, in my arms Outside of me, in spite of 'we' And you said to me You know What you know is better Is brighter” A scene of firefighters dancing in brotherhood trance comes into its own. Dancing, indeed, is an outlet for those men to release pent-up anger, emotions, and energy. Relations being expressed through physical confrontation, camaraderie, trust. The beauty and art of unspoken movements being carried away by the occasion. I would give 5/5 stars. This is the film I believe will get away with the Academy Award for best foreign film of 2021 and, wishfully, best leading actress.

At 01:15, when Julia says that she always give a very stupid example, it's actually not a stupid example. She is talking about mirror neurons. This is what makes us human. We don't need to be stabbed to feel the pain of being stabbed.

Interesting to hear the "I don't care if anyone's gonna like it" while Titane sits comfortably at my number 2 favorite film ever

It's funny listening to her describe Vincent as being one of the few French actors who could portray deep emotions. I thought, "He must be a cancer ♋🦀". Out of curiosity I looked it up. And he is! 🤣♥️ I loved his character.
