Julia Ducournau, Vincent Lindon & Agathe Rousselle on Titane | NYFF59

- Director Julia Ducournau and lead actors Agathe Rousselle and Vincent Lindon discuss Titane, a Main Slate selection at NYFF59, with NYFF Director Eugene Hernandez.
The winner of the 2021 Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or, Titane is a thrillingly confident vision from Julia Ducournau that deposits the viewer directly into its director’s headspace. Moving with the logic of a dream-and often the force of a nightmare-the film begins as a kind of horror movie, with a series of shocking events perpetrated by Alexia (Agathe Rouselle, in a dynamic and daring breakthrough), a dancer with a titanium plate in her skull following a childhood car accident. However, once Alexia goes into hiding from the police, and is taken in by a grief-stricken firefighter (Vincent Lindon), Ducournau reveals her deployment of genre tropes to be as fluid and destabilizing as her mercurial main character. A feverish, violent, and frequently jaw-dropping ride, Titane nevertheless exposes the beating, fragile heart at its center as it questions our assumptions about gender, family, and love itself.

Agathe Rousselle's performance was incredible. I'm actually still a little terrified of her based solely on the film, but it's nice to see her smiling and laughing. Would love to see her do something incredibly different like a rom com or something... just so I don't have to be afraid of her anymore

20:26 What she says is very personal. She says that the character doesn't know who she is before being truly loved. Her father doesn't look at her, doesn't love her so Adriane can't define her personality. Once she met Vincent, once she is truly unconditionally loved, she comes to life, she knows who she is. Julia is talking about love here. She is talking about what's falling in love is for her.
its all good if it was actually depicted in a movie. there is a hint of it. a whiff of it. you can cut the whole "drama" in 5-10 minutes.and its sad that it needs explanation like that.
all the other shit is just neo gore. like she spends 2 minutes taking a pick from ear. we see a guy vomit for 2 minutes. really? how does it adds to the story? you can spend this 4 minutes on showing why is she actually like that. and film is full of this. its poor on character development and rich on neo-gore and shocking stuff that stops becoming shocking after a while. the whole "p" thing becomes pretty boring and in your face kind of thing. i get it, how does it changes the character? oh, she dies lol. immediately after it.
no matter how over the top the premise is - i can buy it as long as the characters behave as they would behave in a pretended world. but they are just pawns for directors self gratification. none of them looked alive, the conveniently suddenly became blind or dumb (its a pitty cause the actors performed great).
i think Yorgos Lanthimos is much better in this aspect. he creates new rules of world, but all characters follow those rules- which transforms into a great drama.
What? Then what about the serial murders?
One of the best films I have watched in years, directed by Julia Ducournau and winner of the Palme D’Or 2021. 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.
Best movie for me of 2021 so far. Can't stop thinking about it.
Are you sure it's "thinking" that you're doing? The movie was simply awful.
I cant stop thinking about this picture too. That tell me when you have a great movie in front of you
I just came back from the theater after seeing Titane. Believe the hype!!!
Thank you. I can't even watch this yet, until after I see it. Don't know how easy that'll be in my part of the US, maybe not till bluray or streaming but definitely at the top of my list. Also from the trailer & brief interviews with Julia Ducournau, it's just reaffirming my interest and fascination with French extreme Cinema and another exciting addition to this renaissance or turn around in artistic horror etc.
@@ISilencerI 😂😂😂
Were there any walkouts ??
The movie was complete sewage.
@@elfambino4066 it isn’t as gross as that person is saying. It is mostly just nudity, then again, different culture. The gore isn’t a that bad and off screen some times. It is more emotional than gross.
The way she talks about her film is an example of how European directors think and conceive their films. The process is not straightforward, formulaic and obvious but build on metaphors and through back alleys.
I haven’t felt this way after watching a movie in a long time. I had to immediately rewatch. There are so many layers. I loved this movie.
🤨 This movie was complete and utter garbage.
@@tonyzuco6144 Who hurt you?
@@ejlatsaknetxis What does not liking a movie have anything to do with being hurt? Did I hurt your feelings?
@@tonyzuco6144 I'm sorry. Nothing probably. I just found your comment ignorant and unnecessarilly hostile. Why leave an arrogant comment like that as a reply to someone's strongly positive emotional experience. What did you aim to achieve with that? If you just wanted the world to know you think the movie is bad just make your own comment about that:)
Maybe 'hostile' is too strong a word. But you get the idea.
While watching it i could understand if i liked it or not, I was just in shock. 2 days after I listen to the soundtrack twice a day and have printed the poster on a hoodie. I FRICKIN LOVE IT
I'm arriving to the same decision lol
Due to me not eating beforehand and the audio being so experimental, this movie caused me to faint just outside the theatre room, for about a minute. Then I went back in and saw the rest. It’s a movie I truly cannot get out of my head. I’ve had no history of fainting at all but this movie I guess managed to push me to that. I’m in love with this film. It’s something else. Truly special.
Thought I was gonna faint when she was breaking her nose on the sink but took some deep breaths and overcame it !
@@forevertwentyone2655 Haha everyone in the cinema had their shoulders hunched in that moment. Never clenched so hard
Did you truly faint just outside the theater? What compelled you to go back in?
The most exhilarating movie of 2021. Wonderfully fucked up. Looking forward to Ducournau's next project
Hi. Was the movie dubbed in English or subtitled? Thanks
@@jarnec9428 SUBTITLES i think
@@samuelblachon95130 thanks
You haven't seen Memoria
@@gogigaga1677 i heard it's a long boring Movie
I love Vincent he's a fantastic actor
Easily the best thing about this film , he was amazing
Absolutely fantastic film. In my opinion, well deserved Palme d'Or. I know this film mix more genres, but for me was in first place a love story, and what an amazing love story!! Julia demostrate once again her amazing talent, Agathe make a role just fenomenal, absolutely outstanding; and Vincent, well, is an actor that plays in a superior league, he is the MVP of acting.
This woman deserves an Oscar
She already has a Palme d'Or. She doesn't need an Oscar because Oscars don't recognise literary or philosophical films.
@@delrey874 ok then what acting award does she properly deserve
@@Nola50 She deserved the award
@@delrey874 so true
I'm here after watching the film and i can tell it was a weird but amazing experience, i feel the need to watch the movie once again.
This movie was INSANE and I loved it sooooooo much. Just got home from it
Was it a packed house ?
@@elfambino4066 I wish, sadly there was only about a half dozen people
@@bottombarrelbudgetfilms1854 damn bro
I saw it on a saturday and was fortunate to have about half the theater full
What an experience !
@@bottombarrelbudgetfilms1854 did anyone walk out ???
@@elfambino4066 luckily no walk outs. just a few "OH DAMN" throughout
My daughter and I watched this last night! It was wildly disturbing! It was craaaazy! I need to see raw!
Did u c it in theaters ?
I kinda hated it while watching it, but it grew on me afterward. Really special work. To me, the core theme was not just love, but love & trauma.
My exact experience. I left the theater like, "well that was horrible," and now I haven't gone a day without thinking about it.
You described my experience perfectly
Same here man
Amazing movie. Want to watch it again, which is strange because I couldn't watch so much of it!
Agathe Rousselle is ON fire, amazing actress. Insane.
She'd never acted before this movie. Was blown away to learn that
today, i’m even more glad than ever that i was there. 🥳🍾🥂 *chrome heart emoji*
Thought provoking indeed! Money for Best International Feature Oscar and pulling for a best director and picture nom!
This movie is absolute best of the artform . This movie should win 4 Oscars in my opinion best director, best picture, best actress, best supporting actor.i honestly don't think I am going to see a original movie than this , to say atleast this year
Sensational. I need to see it again.
amazing film
They are true artists
One of the best film of all time.
Titane(2021) is favorite film in me...
Because this film is so dinamic hard horror and on the other hand, it's a intense love. this sense of subjectivity is a force that head-on though the vertical structural world.
Titane is best palme d'or
The newest Horror director working since Cronenberg.
Cronenberg hasn’t made a horror movie since the late 70’s, so that’s a stretch. Lol
@@emmanuelsalazar9424 Cronenberg's last sci-fi/horror was eXistenZ in 1999. BUT he's currently working on his first body horror in 23 years!
@@emmanuelsalazar9424 I think he's mentoring his son too
Yes the Crash comparison (in my top 10) I adore Cronenberg but he's not the only body horror writer, director, et alia.
Under the Skin a bit
Videodrome or ExistenZ but this is more a parent/child story.
Julia is a Genius.
Common people:”Cette œuvre d’art est vraiment déconcertante. Je me demande ce que l’artiste a voulu exprimer.”
Artist (Julia): ‘Question: is there humanity beyond the social construct?’
Cant wait to see it again
One of the best films of 2021, along with Dune. For me anyway.
Dune was visually stunning. But felt more like a cw movie. Too many dream sequences.
PERFECT MOVIE! kudos to Julie Ducournau and team. 🤘🏾🍻
" I have an existentialist view of the meaning of life, you have you go through many states before becoming yourself .. " Damn, intelligence is sexy... ❤️ She didn't steal her prestigious Hypokhâgne Henri IV College diploma. She is a little genius. This is how french journalists call her in France.
Loved the film!
if you have the chance to see the movie, go see it, it is great! I think it is a little overhyped in some parts on the internet, I really enjoyed it and probably one of the best movies this year, but some make it to come the second coming of christ, but it is certainly not that. Still really excited where the career of Julia will lead, this is just her second movie and also Raw was alreadz incredible! That Agathe never acted before is almost unbelievable. Incredible Performance. But sometimes the less experienced can make for cinematic gold. Just think City Of God for example.
absolutely on point.
City Of God...???? 😲 City Of God was an amazing film..! Titane is complete Sewage! One of the worst movies ever made! How dare you compare this pile-of-shit to such a classic. 😒
wish i got to see it in theaters
I am here for the spoilers because the movie is just a different piece of work altogether.
Très enthousiaste Vincent
Oui, il est très fier du film. Cela en dit beaucoup sur le professionnalisme de Julia Ducournau. Vincent en a vu passer des cinéastes.
I 🤪🥰 Vincent
The French continue to push out the best movies! Do not let these Publishers stop or censor you! Keep it Raw, Shocking & Thriving!
Awesome
la amo
Agathe should of won the 2022 César award for best new actress. Damn shame.
16:38 best moment for me xD.
France must be a fascinating place
It is
What a great film!
WILD I WAS VERY UNSETTLED HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Yeah I'm in love with this woman.
Does Vincent have a sickness or something? I am just asking because his facial expressions seem like constantly changing.
Such a beautiful movie. To me it was about the perverse influence of society’s rigid and toxic definition of ideal masculinity, especially the plight of women under this system
12:30
The hard bodylanguage
where is this?
NYFF, prob. Alice Tully Hall.
It's in some theaters, but not all. I don't think it's on VOD yet.
Alice Tully Hall NYC. I was there.
Par contre bravo pour votre anglais mais ça tiens du côté maternel ah enfin du rire
I have a similar facial tick as Vincent Lindon. Sucks
It hasn’t stopped him from doing amazing things. I hope you understand that to an observer it’s not a big deal and kind of charming
Mais c'est de la vodka que vous buvez ? Vincent désolé mais vous avez un souci avec les chaussettes non? Et il faut sourire je suis folle de vous allez détester mais tant pis c'est comme ça
THIS MOVIE GRIPS YOU UNTIL YOU FINISH THE FILM AND AFTER DURING THE DAY BUT AS THE DAYS WEEK PASSES YOU REFLECT ON IT AND IT JUST DOESNT HOLD I SAW IT AT CANNES AND I FEEL QUITE UNDERWHELMED ESPECIALLY THE SECOND PART OF THE MOVIE IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH
This movie was a complete monstrosity! This woman should never be allowed to make another movie ever again!
Lol
Ducournau made a crime against cinema and humanity with this terrible movie.
Why do you say that?
I felt the exact complete opposite. This film is disturbing and out there but my exact thoughts were after thinking about is that cinema is in an absolute better place for films of this nature simply existing. It's not for everyone but that's the same for most art. And that's what this film is. We need more art films and less MCU films of its ilk. Crime against humanity is a bit much.
@@toneslice989 Disturbing? i find more disturbing that a jury gave this movie the palm d'or. If to produce art is enough to put together a couple of weird ideas in a movie( like to get pregnant by a car) we would be all artists on this world.
@@michelebaratt8403 right... but the movie isnt just about getting pregnant by a car is it?
@@camcabbas yes , it' s about two lonley human beings that found the family they haven' t: the poor serial killer girl/boy found a father(after the killing of about 300 people, take in mind), the steroid addicted fireman, a son/daughter! Ohhhh how cute! But the biggest dilemma for me is this: who will pay for the newborn 's studies: the cadillac or the fireman?
