Titane (2021) Come Chill With Me | French Horror Movie Review | Spookyastronauts

[@emilymurdoch6713]

I think she had a connection with cars before the accident. In the opening scene, she was humming along with the sound of the gear shifting/motor which upset her real father. To me, that showed the beginning glimpses of her connection with cars and lack of connection with her father/other humans. And this is actually what caused the accident, which made her feel closer to them since she was then part titanium also? I don't know, just a bit of stream of consciousness.

[@marionunes86]

Behind all the "messed up" metaphorical imagery, there's an interesting and quite heartfelt story here.

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

I guess I missed that story.

[@atmosphericentry0]

I saw this at my local festival (which was packed minus the seats in between for distancing) and my god was that an experience. One of the most interesting movie going experiences I've had. The theatre was silent during that batshit crazy ending scene. I absolutely loved it but some others definitely did not. First Raw and now this? Julia Ducournau is on a roll.

[@boolocklock]

I love this movie. After reading more reviews on Titane, a lot of consensus says that the main theme is unconditional love. Its one of those movies I think will get better and better on repeat viewings since you can interpret the story in different ways.

[@omayraperales6514]

We missed you a lot around here, nice to have some new content! Loved Titane, it stays with you after watching it.

[@olivardelacave2383]

I am French, and in France the movie has divided a lot. He won "Palme d'Or" at the Cannes Film Festival and many people went to see him, but he was less enthusiastic than "Raw". It is a body horror movie but it is very violent and the end has divided. Vincent Lindon (a very famous actor in France) is an excellent fireman and the lead actress is amazing. "Titane" is a really interesting movie. Anyway thank you for this review on the film. (sorry but I don’t speak well ^^)

[@colmobrien9558]

I thought you spoke very well, if that is worth anything. I was also very happy to read somebody who comes from France speak about the film.

[@gunnerdom78]

J'espère que le film va être bientôt disponible au Canada. Edit: Eh bien, 2 novembre au ciné.

[@synergeticteam]

I appreciate the intentional focus on visual story... stunned. Personally, I love when a writer can replace lame exposition with such provocative visuals. I strive to accomplish the same effect in my own work. This film offers a certain graphic intensity, which seems only fitting that it is yet another artistic novelty of the French. Titane, to me, is an extremely effective reveal of where society stands regarding our collective global maturity which seems to be growing evermore precocious with each defining rotation we make towards the finite existence which patiently awaits. Bravo!

[@solarflame-he6cw]

I loved this movie a lot. It was so fun and creepy at times

[@froggo7215]

I'm in love with her work

[@Boomblast57]

This film although graphic and sometimes incredibly blunt is possibly one of the most beautiful and heartwarming films of the last few years x In my humble opinion it’s a film about love despite everything. The party scene made me cry my eyes out from happiness ❤

[@chriscze6153]

I also gave this a 7/10 or 3.5/5. Loved the concepts and themes much more than the actual movie itself, which was a bit all over the place. but all in all this was a very solid and sometimes brilliant film that definitely deserves a viewing. Glad to have you back Emma!

[@spookyastronauts]

Thanks Chris

[@Krutontar]

The French Extreme is back!

[@SarahRenniexoxo]

I am SO glad you've done a review of this! I watched it the other day and I thought it was AMAZING! Much more disturbing than Raw!

[@jasperfen3754]

I stopped before spoilers because I'll probably give this one a try. Thank you for the review

[@jnc3880]

I had the same response too when the movie ended. WTF! This movie is wild. Lots to unpack. This is my current favorite film of 2021 along with Saint Maud. There are two more films that I have to see this year: The Feast and The Sadness. Have you seen the red band trailer #2 for The Sadness? If not, do NOW! Holy crap.

[@arilith504]

I went to see this yesterday after wanting to see it for ages. I was not expecting to feel kind of warm, wholesome but sad at the end. I really love how Julia portrays familial relationships. The sisters in Raw. The 'son' and dad in this. Just beautiful.

[@sourcherry23]

I just love this film mostly because, as much like Raw, discusses the dysfunction of families in a horror lens. This one I liked since it focused more on the physical and psychological experience on motherhood, as the female lead experience it in the trope of body horror. The juxtaposition of Vincent Landon's character (as the perspective of a father longing for a missing son) makes the third half an climactic catharsis with an emotional payoff.

[@colmobrien9558]

I am SOoooooo happy that you spoke about this. It is by far my most anticipated film of the year. I couldn't wait for it to come out. Hated it. I found it quite boring, a little nonsensical, which I wasn't prepared for and isn't the film's fault. With that being said, I will watch everything that this person produces, I am already greatly excited to see what she does next.

[@Weirder_the_better]

You always get me so excited to watch a film! I can't wait to see this one. I LOVED Raw and I'm so excited to see what else she does. Julia has such a unique perspective and I love to see it.

[@jerrygonzalez7496]

Best film of the year so far!

[@lamaquinadefiesta]

I've been waiting to watch this one since I knew it was going to debut. I loved Raw so much so I couldn't wait to see what was coming from her and MY GOD. I just finished watching it (like literally 10 min ago) and don't know what to say, but it's funny how the first thing I did was looking up to see if you reviewed it and here I am! Honestly, I loved it. It's different from Raw but still so Ducournau. Body horror is probably one of my favourite subgenres of horror and Julia Ducournau displays it in a way you can relate somehow, it's not just cheap and free body horror, you know? It has so much emotional and conceptual depth, like in Titane. I rated 4.5/5 on letterboxd but maybe it's because i'm a sucker for everything Julia Ducournau does.

[@indigosurf]

I saw this in a nearly empty theatre last week, and am so fortunate for that. Very glad that you made the effort to see it!

[@horrorableshow]

So hype for this! Great video Emma!!

[@anthonywheeler2082]

I watched Raw on Netflix for Halloween Month a week ago and loved it. Everybody talks about the gore and body horror of Raw but nobody talks about the humour weaved throughout it. It was pretty funny.

[@maddygalloway4119]

Yay! Im so excited to hear your thoughts. Loved this movie!

[@justripleyhere2641]

A sensational, original and intriguing film. I loved it so much its joined my top 10 alongside RAW. Superb film.

[@firerainchild]

My reaction was "If you are going to promise me a weird movie... You better give me a weird movie. And this did."

[@spookyastronauts]

haha

[@thehitherto5348]

I fear I've reached that stage where I'm desensitized to any kind of weirdness. I mean... I enjoyed Titane, but when early press notes desrcibe it as "the most fucked up and extreme movie ever" the mark it set far too high for its own good. I think I need to avoid reviews and trailers completely.

[@jnc3880]

I agree. This movie is not THAT extreme. If it was, it would not be rated R in the United States.

[@lobsterdfw1]

I know, sure it had some crazy elements, but people and media overhyped that aspect of the film.

[@spookyastronauts]

Yeah but I think you need to take into consideration lots of the people who write these articles are a. Looking for click bait and b. Aren’t casual horror viewers

The first 30 minutes were great, after that mark the movie was all over the place, not for me. Raw was really great 8/10, Titane is a 4/10 at best.

[@wildnitesmusic]

Hi Emma I've just watched the deep house love to know your thoughts.🤗🤗🤗 Great review btw

[@theresacarter2093]

Ok I just finished Titane then finished your spoiler talk. I didn’t think it was that gory, the kills were brutal but I didn’t see enough blood to consider it gory. I also noticed how she was growing a mustache while laying on the father right before birth. The baby was shaped like a baby, just part titanium. A very different kind of horror, like Malignant. I found another different kind of horror I’m getting ready to watch called The Deep House. Thanks for the review!! ❤️ Your Channel 👻

I'm kind of shocked there's a 15min video on this movie and no mention of the soundtrack Incredible movie (9/10 imo and actually better than raw imo) with one of the best soundtracks in recent years and the way she incorporated all the music was outstanding

[@vanessalaughtland4417]

Glad I could finally watch your spoiler section now! I felt the same way in terms of rating, although I did find the first half more entertaining than the second. There were some points I genuinely had to look away from - as a director she always knows how to build up physical tension without necessarily having a pay off!

[@angeluzel9327]

I love how bizzare this movie was. It's unpredictable. And can't really be compared to any other movie. Although the tone is similar to Raw. Which I also loved. I very much hope to see more films like this.

Welcome back! I had the same issues with Titane and it was really hard to enjoy a film when you have no idea wtf is going on

[@latenightlogic]

I agree, I felt that switch too. It’s still excellent and Vincent Lindon was fantastic but it does change in a way that’s just a bit different to what you think the movie will be. The opening is how you think of the film, 70 per cent of the rest is how the film actually is. It’s able to keep its momentum though and remains excellent.

[@emilys3757]

Sounds like a slightly subtler version of Tetsuo the Iron Man

[@matmccarthy515]

OMG - you are absolutely stunning, clever, funny and even have a whippet / greyhound! Swooning!

[@aliples3508]

If you look at the area where the titanium was placed in her skull, it’s directly above her right ear. That’s the right temporal lobe, which is the area that controls emotion, impulse control, and the ability to detect social cues. She probably already was somewhere on the spectrum before the crash (she was humming to the sound of the car) but I think the crash exacerbated this. Might be the reason why she kills impulsively, is unable to form human relationships, and generally feels no emotion or shame.

[@robertpetre9378]

I’ve just seen this film last night and it completely took me off guard.I remember seeing Raw and really liking it but this is definitely a lot more visually extreme and it feels like two different films smashed into one definitely a love the letter to David Cronenberg.

[@skilla4hire]

I loved this film. Very unorthodox. Very graphic.

[@jobutupacki6158]

Where did you watch this film?! I wanna watch this!

[@hesprus]

I got the sense that at the beginning, after the accident, the main character lost all empathy as part of brain damage. Much of this picture can be defined as metaphor to how meaningless relationships can be, and that as the main character grows close to someone, they become afraid and must destroy it. In other words, it could very much be an internal struggle of someone who is searching for a way back to their core.

[@Keldoh3ad]

This movie was one of the very few to make me physically uncomfortable to watch at times.

[@shelleysiegel3180]

Hi Emma, I Just watched Titane Early a.m. Sat June 11, 22, & It IS the Strangest, most Unique & Crazy movie I've ever seen! I did Not hate it, as I found it very engaging, Unique & captivating, despite I Don't understand what point or points it's trying to make.🤔 Also in first half of the film I Hated Alexis as she was a Psychopathic, heartless serial killer who killed Her own parents for no reason, so the actress who played Alexis/Adrian was Excellent in this role, as was the actor who played the firefighter who thought she he was his lost son. I liked the 2nd part of the film better, as she began to care about her Firemen Dad figure, & toward the very end I began to feel a tiny bit of sympathy toward her, & I felt A lot of sympathy for him. Thus I feel Titane was very well-Acted & engaging, tho I'm not sure I'd say I "liked" it but I am glad I saw it.

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Thanks for the review, Emma. As you know, the body horror genre has not been my favorite and this film certainly sounds like it takes the genre pretty far. I'm glad to hear that you did like it and I hope it goes over well with the genre fans. On a separate note, I did see "Halloween Kills" and it was excellent.

[@spookyastronauts]

[@sodapants3328]

I loved this it’s such a good movie about the human condition I loved both characters tho it’s not the mans story it felt very much shared After hearing about this I watched it. I’m so glad everyone gets to experience the film

[@sodapants3328]

I’m baffled and love that this was made.

[@sodapants3328]

I like that girl is in a masculine role and fire man father is the damsel. She is head strong but he is full of broken emotion

[@sodapants3328]

Spoilers disregard this text - - - - - - - - - I think it’s the fact that the car entertained . And the car saved her from the incident. The trauma probably drew her to this conclusion that she should love cars. She isn’t a robot I think having sex with the impossible is the fantasy. It’s also her flaw and some of her drive. Because I think she had a detachment to people because of her dad. The fire fighter needed a son because he felt less fulfilling as a protector and as a father. They completed each other and it was very cathartic What raw didn’t have that I liked. Their is discovering your identity and actually helping someone even if you aren’t the best person

[@sodapants3328]

Her relationship with her father is why she kills. She is afraid of human interactions

[@NbleSavage]

Got Prodigal Son meets Crash vibes from this one. In a good way.

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

I watched Neon Demon last night, and that was about the same for me. Though, I guess, Titane was slightly better. I guess I just didn't get it. The end had me thinking about The Devil's Backbone, which is a far better movie. I would probably give this movie a 3/10. Over hyped for me.

[@woodsro]

There's a screening on the 9th of November here. I'll hopefully be getting tickets to that session at Luna :D

[@kriziaamber4548]

It was perfection for me.

[@sepiarain]

I was really excited about seeing this film but accidentally got a bit too loaded in advance and so it just sort of happened at me... I was in tears by the end, but couldn't figure out why - I think it was just the massive visual/audio overload combined with the emotion of the performances of the really seminal climax. I am going to try and see it again. SPOILER TALK - The film felt filled with metaphor and allegory, and at times I think the literal interpretation of what was happening on screen was heavily skewed by the objectivity of the narrative from the protagonists perspective (did she really get pregnant from the car, or was there some other unseen trauma?) - themes focusing on objects of male desire as well as the masculine fragility of attachment and denial... The titanium is an intoxicating element and the protagonist has become a chimera, on one hand a combination of the sensuality of the flesh and on the other hand the mechanical, material fixation of right-brained men and their motors (somehow intuiting that she is both the flesh and titanium they crave). But as the film progresses the spectrum or chemical balance of these elements changes, the protagonist becomes monstrous in appearance and also completely enchanted by the mechanical, material and creation. The focus on the body work of vehicles and the bodies of people. Specifically many of the vehicles featured are restored classic cars, cars that have aged well... ageing being another process of change which is certainly a strong theme. You really smash your analysis of Mise En Scene and particularly lighting. Wonder if you've had some training as a lighting engineer?
