The winner of this year's Palme d'Or, Titane crunches, tears and sizzles. Here's justbrizigs' review of the 'gender-bending odyssey splattered with gore and motor oil' NYFF59
Alexia had an early connection with cars. Her insistence on using her voice to mimic the rev of an engine as a young girl while her irritated father drove was so undaunted that one day she caused him to lose control of the vehicle. The accident rendered her father mostly unscathed, and Alexia with a titanium plate implanted in her skull.
It’s possible that this had all been catalyzed by an experience immediately following the one with the persistent fan, in which her flame-painted love interest revved its irresistible engine at her doorstep, its headlights beckoning Alexia to climb inside and give her all to it.
Rousselle carries Alexia with a presence that is constantly under siege by flesh itself, cramped by her own skin and by others’, picking at an unending itch, tugging a pierced nipple, cracking a bone. Apprehensive of men and resentful of her status as an object of male desire. Ill at ease in her given femininity, emboldened only by her sexuality.
