Titane

Well, lots of female nudity.

Unlike Grave, a movie i like a lot with it story that make sense in it own logic, this one didnt connect wt me.

I am surprise at the high score on imdb for this one.

Again, i would recommend you watch Grave first. Maybe Titane will be appreciate better by female audience as the director/writer also is.

Like a revewer said, the ridiculous dancing scene without the belly prostetic is done without care.

I have see many movies in horror genre, some done much better story and execution wise. This is should not be a Palm D'or level winner as a product, maybe as a booster for it director and recognition to Vincent Lindon .

I am speechless!

Erm......seriously I have no idea what i just watched?

This has got to be one of the most unusual, disturbing, weird and completely bonkers film that I've seen in a while. The first 30 minutes of the film are the best for me, felt more a "standard" horror/thriller setup. However this film takes so many bizarre twists and turns which I'm not sure all worked. Trust me you have a lot of questions after seeing this film.

Visually stunning I must say though and I love the fact that this is a really ballsy film, 100% original for that matter!! However I think it might have helped if now and then it was just a little boring or normal hahaha!

I mean its an experience I wont forget but then again I wont rush to see this film again any time soon, I think I need to let my brain process this all. I completely understand why a lot of people would hate this film, it really is not for everyone!!

70% out of 100, I'm stunned and shocked how this turned out and the fact that someone thought of this idea for a film.........are they ok? Hahahah!!

I think there is no point in trying to judge or rate this film. Even though I am doing it in order to post something. It's as if the Wario version of Kill Bill went on a date with Lars von Trier. Then they went to a club, met Cronenberg, Lynch and the Toxic Avenger and they all took Ketamine. I would call it a masterpiece but I have a little issues about the violence. I can accept it, because it's art. But where does it stop? It is a disturbing film and I liked it. This is a thing people will talk about for a long long time. Also I am confused now. In terms of how the narrative is unfolded it reminded me of dogtooth from Lanthimos. The shifting of elements of a narrative in a film and replacing them by something else. It's Dada. Is this only making sense to me ?

Original. Daring. But doesn't quite gel.

I am writing a review after ages. Perhaps it's a sign of a good movie that provoked this response. Or perhaps it's just appreciation for a director who really did go for it. Ducarnau demonstrated the Cronenbergesque body horror and satire in her first feature film. Titane has confirmed that she is definitely could be the next champion of extremely physical movies. Film reminds of themes of Crash ( 1996 ) and to some extent Videodrome ( 1983 ) .

Keeping the cryptic and puzzling aspects aside, it's a basic story of finding closure and a place in this world, when you have ambiguous intimacy / sexuality, distorted physicality, suppressed emotions and childhood trauma.

Ducarnau is however not quiet able to meet the ambition of ideas she is putting down on canvas. There is rather drastic shifts in tone of movie, which can be confusing. There is no harm in mixing genres but I felt a bit lost in parts of second half.

The shock values of the scenes ( and they are shocking ) wears off once you are no longer sure of motives of players especially when you are not totally buying into it. In first 15 min, the film hits such high note that the twists and turns that follow almost negate the impact.

I would say if you are looking for a provocative film, this is the one. However, keep an open mind. Titane is ambitious but it's not able to live up to its potential.

I didn't read anything about this movie, I heard it could make it onto the Oscar's long list so gave it a go.

Immediately you realise this small girl has "issues" not sure what, but all becomes clear after a few minutes.

She has a car accident and needs a titanium implant in her skull, this accident clearly leaves a cathartic impression on her and cars which caused her injury.

We then see her as an adult , a car fanatic and erotic dancer famous around Europe' car and custom shows.

Extreme scenes , those with needle phobias will need to look away a few times.

On the run, finds a firefighter who is looking for his son who went missing 10 years ago, both had needs and make a weirdly suitable match.

If it were a crime drama it would be clear A-B storyline, but the writers added a twist which you really have to get your head around. I won't say what it would spoil it for you, just to say it's weird.

Extremely compelling viewing, if you were to put the movies "Eraserhead, Christine and Backdraft into a blender this is the movie you would end up with.

I liked it.
