Full reviewFrom the director of French cult horror Raw comes this Palme d'Or-winning thriller about an erotic dancer and occasional murderer forced on the run, attempting an improbable disguise.
"Julia Ducournau brazenly smashes the mould with this twisty tale about Alexia (Agathe Rousselle), an erotic dancer with a peculiar penchant for muscle cars, who also happens to be a serial killer when the random urge takes her, or people pests provoke retaliation. When a murder goes awry, Alexia must go on the run, and her path leads her to a fire station populated with hunky young firemen and their steroid-consuming aging chief ( Vincent Lindon). Prone to doubts about his masculinity, he’s also grieving for Adrien, a teenage son who disappeared years earlier. Alexia, binding down her breasts and her burgeoning, unwanted pregnancy sired by a Cadillac, becomes an improbable Adrien..." (Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival)
LessThe 2021 Palme d’Or winner goes for body horror shocks and totally succeeds. Ducournau’s direction is grisly and beautiful, crafting a tale of dysmorphia and parenthood with unholy horsepower.

Full reviewA mindblower that keeps you guessing for all of the film's excellent 108 minutes.

Full review(Titane) is an extreme movie, violent and pitiless and funny, but the space it provides for not just tenderness but contemplation makes it an "extremely" thought-provoking film as well.
Full reviewA messy, provocative and wild piece with attitude and style that is never uninteresting.
Full reviewIt all feels like an overworked in-joke, a bait-and-switch story whose hard-right swerve into conventionality is probably intended to be its most shocking element.
Full reviewA symphony of disturbing and dark madness unlike anything you've ever seen - and I mean that in a good way.
Full reviewTitane 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.
Full reviewTitane is so self-consciously transgressive and weird, that it's difficult to discern who it's for...
Full reviewTitane is available to stream in New Zealand now on Google Play and Apple TV and Neon Rentals and Academy On Demand and AroVision.
