Vincent, convinced that Alexia is his missing son, takes her into his home and a complex and strange relationship develops between them.
A film that has divided a lot
As in his previous film, Acutereleased in 2017 and also presented at Cannes, with whom Julia Ducournau speaks Titanium deep questions about body transformation. Titanium pushes this exploration even further scenes of graphic violence and mutilation (The film was rated R-16 when it was released in theaters and R-18 on Netflix.)
This violence is linked to bodily transformation and reinforces the idea of the internal and external struggle of the characters to accept themselves. Upon its release, the public is very divided on the filmlike its score of 2.5/5 among our colleagues atAlloCine. We can thus read everything and its opposite:
Great movie, but you have to have a strong heart, some scenes are almost unbearable
Titanium is a complete work, which has its own logic and proposes a homogeneous world that is not ours.
A shocking film, where everything is welcomed.
No, you won’t come away shocked, as the Cannes people might have suggested, but truly dismayed and distressed.
I have rarely seen a film so flashy. It almost becomes funny because it shows off and poses so much.
Incredibly vulgar. It is incomprehensible to praise such a film.
