beneath its steely and bloody exterior, beneath its impeccably directed body horror, even beneath all the fascinating things it has to say about the fluidity of gender, Titane is ultimately a film about love. about what happens when love brushes up against hate and fear and rage and alienation and every negative emotion oozing through your veins like motor oil. how love is born from the most unlikely sources, how it takes myriad forms (romantic, platonic, paternal, maternal, etc.).
Cronenberg's Crash deals with similar subject matter, i.e. cars and fucking, but in a cold and clinical way (not a critique at all!! i love Crash!!!), whereas Titane is unexpectedly warm and deeply human. the reason this film rises above so…
best movie ever, what more could you want here? not one part of this isn’t paid full attention to. so bold, so metallic, so gross and so funny??? to think, i loved ‘raw’ and this just completely surpasses that movie in every way. the music choices, come on!! the whole movie is on FIRE! this is a sloppy review and i’m sorry about that but i just loved this. i had such a good time and i’m so so so excited to watch it again and show it to everyone i know besides my parents because i don’t know if they’ll dig this one tbh!
A tremendous work about what it means to be meat, and how beautiful and terrible transformation must be. Cronenberg gets tossed around a lot in these parts, but this is truly the New Flesh.
