Our take
Exploding onto MUBI in a gnarled helix of chrome and flesh, Julia Ducournau’s Palme d’Or-winner is a jaw-dropping blast of Cronenbergian gothic. Conceptually audacious and dripping with insouciant attitude, Titane ignites a Molotov cocktail of gender politics, familial compassion, and female desire.
