One of the best films I have watched in years. Julia had already gotten some eyebrows raised in 2016 after “Raw”. She raised the bar quite high with “Titane”. It is one of those films that keeps you thinking about even days after watching it. Less than a handful have exerted that impact on me so far. Granted! It is not for everybody, it is unconventional, aggressive, cathartic to the point that it easily gets the viewer off the comfort zone. The leading actress speaks no more than ten words in the whole film. You do not need words when a look, tears, dance can speak for themselves. Body expression is centrally powerful in the film. And the music from “Future Islands” does the rest of the trick. “But I've seen the way That bodies lie and bodies tend to break And I've been away I've been away too long Too long to be afraid” “And this is where we were When I showed you the dark Inside of me, in spite of me On a bench in the park You said to me: This is not you” “And this is where we are In your bed, in my arms Outside of me, in spite of 'we' And you said to me You know What you know is better Is brighter” A scene of firefighters dancing in brotherhood trance comes into its own. Dancing, indeed, is an outlet for those men to release pent-up anger, emotions, and energy. Relations being expressed through physical confrontation, camaraderie, trust. The beauty and art of unspoken movements being carried away by the occasion. I would give 5/5 stars. This is the film I believe will get away with the Academy Award for best foreign film of 2021 and, wishfully, best leading actress.
I am in awe of the precise vision she has for her films and her love and excitement for cinema and filmmaking. One of the most exciting auteurs working today.
Please give Jake a chance to talk more to Julia ! Saw Jake interviewed Kristen Stewart before, he is such a respectful straight to the point brilliant interviewer . Jake asked Julia what she learned from Raw to make Titane. Even with more camera movements and better filming techniques , I won’t watch Titane twice but I watched Raw hundred times and still watching.Personally, I don’t reckon Titane a better film than Raw, but different . Raw is more relatable to me in terms of sibling rivalry, college life& eating disorder. I also find Julia so adorable that she always listen to her audience earnestly and she is really interested to know how her audience feels and so open to ideas , suggestions and constructive criticism , like in Raw,her scene creator suggested alternating between minimalistic quiet country road /clean neat scenes in contrast to the messy gory scenes which Julia preferred . If not ,all scenes would look similar,messy. It works!
She is amazing. Self confident, self assured and competent. Wowzers Penny. Ok, I said I would never watch this movie, but what a master class in film making…she has changed my mind. Thank you so much for this.
Honestly the best interview of the Titane/Ducornau press tour! Great and insightful conversation. Any chance you guys get an interview with anyone from the LAMB team?
Great interview. I loved the film. I understand Sean and Kevin's reactions, but there is an affecting human drama past the first act that Julia made really tender and sweet. That story, I believe, was what won the film the Palme d'Or. I'm not a fan of torture porn (which this movie doesn't have), or really hard to watch material, but I wasn't as bothered by the first 40 minutes of the film. (And when I finally saw Irreversible years later, the content was less shocking and unbearable than my expectations.) Keep up the great work, guys!
Gaspar Noe's "Irreversible", for me is an examination of the manipulative nature of the cinematic experience. He presents a brutal revenge for the rape & murder of the protagonist's wife in reverse scene order, so the effect- if you are able to make it to the end- is a happy ending because as the film goes on it gets brighter & brighter. This tests the idea of having a strong 3rd act & as long as a movie ends well the audience will forgive &/or forget a rough beginning.
I wouldn't really say that Irreversible had a "happy" ending. I think it was truly the most tragic ending the movie could have had. Seeing how they may have led a happy, normal life if that absolutely traumatic experience hadn't happened, made the experience nothing but sad, at least for me. What the movie actually did was turn a truly disturbing movie into a truly tragedic experience. But I get where you are coming from and the movie is a cinematic masterpiece.
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it!!!!
i wanted to hate this movie, i thought it was gonna be a style-above-substance ultra-violent shock flick. (i didn't know anything about her previous works). and it made it really hard for me to stomach all the pain and violence. That started to change in the bathroom scene. i started to understand. Ok, she's turning into a man now. It felt like a a bone and i was the dog, suddenly i could concentrate on something thematical. :) i ended up loving the movie, it became a revelation. i'll go and watch raw as soon as i can :D
She is a fan of Edgar Allan Poe. In his books, everything is suggestion, nothing is truly explained. It is the readers imagination. She does the same in her movie.
For a podcast about film, a surprisingly large amount of time was spent oohing and awing over the fact the director thought about her shots. I would have liked to have more discussion of the film.
Seems like Jake and Kevin are competitive with eachother and that doesn't add to the video lol. Otherwise, this director was so great to listen to.... so excited and passionate about what she does and this movie was amazing and haunting.
The baby name is Alexia, because Alexia is Gaya and Vincent is Ouranos, Both are greek myths that are the parents of the six Titans. Alexia is a Titan : a monster with super powers
The thing to understand about Gaspar Noe is that all of his films are rooted in Theater of Cruelty which aims to shock the audience out of banal, comfort seeking complacency. That is say that he does not make films to entertain or tell an escapist tale. His films are a punch in the face intended to thrust you out of your gooey cyber womb in the Matrix opening your eyes for the 1st time to the horrors of reality. The miracle is that he has been able to make several films which assault the medium itself.
I find it wild Julia used a real life-saving medical procedure to fictionalize, and ascribe a non-human/cold/robotic value to a character, then usurp that by having her kill people, so the audience “accepts” a new human with unconditional love? Julia asserts by her having a metal plate, she’s deformed (as she stated in this interview), and thus not accepted by the world. Cranioplasty is a common surgery, and it seems like Julia is saying any person that had a cranioplasty is robotic, cold, and unwelcome in society. She talks a lot about of identity, acceptance, and empathy, but tells it through characters who are evil, murder, and a man who killed his own child. It’s patronizing, unnecessary, and defeats the purpose. Everyone is commenting the same thing of ‘wow cool challenging gender roles yassss love this’, and seems no one has their own thoughts about what they watched and subscribed to the same interpretation which is conveniently the one given by this video.
This is an amazing conversation. The way she talks about what she does with such intensity and zeal is life giving!

I've been away too long
Too long to be afraid”
“And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park
You said to me: This is not you”
“And this is where we are
In your bed, in my arms
Outside of me, in spite of 'we'
And you said to me
You know
What you know is better
Is brighter”

Really enjoyed the interview. Ducournau is fascinating. I loved Titane. I felt I lot but it was never hard to watch
She's so eloquent and interesting to listen to. Amazing. I'm a big fan of RAW. Can't wait to watch this.
This is stolen from my work, so this chick is a farce.
@@theactualtruth4951 I bet you were in the same drama class as her, she got her credits, you didn't and you're now jealous. 😉

Nothing in the works at the moment, but it's a very interesting film. We'd have plenty to discuss, that's for sure.
This interview is incredible! I loved Titane but have so much more admiration for Julia after watching this! She is incredibly eloquent!
this is the in depth conversation i was looking for about this incredible film!!
Whenever a movie makes an audience go "wtf" AUDIBLY, that's something special
Like 4 ppl walked out when I saw it last Saturday

I have 'Titane' on my Watch-List but now I also have to check out 'RAW', thank you for this Interview!
Best English interview with Julia so far 😉
Aw, thanks!
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it!!!!
Kevin is totally mesmerized. So am I.
This just comes to show how much of cinema we’re missing out on by just sticking to American films.
Titane is great ♡♡♡♡♡

Wow, she’s beautiful! She has a fucked up imagination too! 🥰

I love that this won the Palme d'Or; nothing avant garde ever wins at the Oscars

WAIT WHAT. DID VINCENT KILL HIS SON?
Love con be in any form. Any gender.
Ps. Can someone tell me who that man that laid on the ground in the beginning of Raw? Was it her dad?
pretty sure the person in the beginning of raw was justine's sister
@@fish1313 OH okay.
