Titane

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.

The first 20 minutes or so of 'Titane' are about as off the wall bonkers as you'll ever see in a film. It got to the point where I was wondering if they were intending to keep that pace and insanity up for the runtime of the film. Things do settle down a bit from there on out (at least comparatively) but man that was a wild set up.

I felt I had a reasonably strong grip on what the film was going for, but I did watch a Youtube explanation video just to be sure. It was similar to what I thought but did point out a few things I had missed or misinterpreted. Beneath all the insanity there are certainly some layers of intelligence.

Agathe Rousselle in the lead role gives a quite incredible performance. Her transformation alone is stunning. But also the intensity and fascination she is able to attract is something this project couldn't have done without.

This is one of those extremely unique films that you will likely never see anything like again. I'd say it's not a film that is going to be to everyone's liking. But if you have the right mind-frame (and stomach) for it then give it a crack. Strap yourself in though, it's a bump ride. 7/10.

I don't really know what I just watched. It was incredibly weird, but nevertheless watchable. In fact, I might even go as far as to say it was mesmerizing.

I'm sure there were some really deep themes, of which I could glean only a handful. But maybe that's a lacking in myself. These themes - as far as I could make out - include love and loss, rage, psychosis, and identity. Even a slight hint of incest.

But there are still a couple of pretty pertinent things that remain a mystery. Big mysteries!

I would recommend this film to those who want to lose themselves in one woman's psychedelic / psychotic journey, or for those who enjoy analyzing and could possibly apply meaning to scenes and images that I don't think were included for fun, but which I can't work out.

Nevertheless, I would recommend people check it out - if only for the originality and creativity. It won't be for everyone. It starts off rather sedately and then gets deeper and deeper into the bizarre. Personally, I love cinema that pushes boundaries and dares to be different - even if it fails, which this one definitely doesn't.

So be brave. Try something new. Expect to be challenged, and perhaps even a little offended, and definitely expect to see something different.

And I can't sign off without congratulating the performance of the two leads - Agathe Rousselle and Vincent Lindon. Both did brilliant jobs, especially Agathe since this was her feature film debut.

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!!

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 .
