Raw emits the same mood as the cow heart dissection in my 12th grade human anatomy class:
staring at the wet mound of pale red flesh soak through the brown paper towel, i thought, "this is probably the only time you will ever touch a cow heart in your life,” in blinking neon letters. “you are not good at math and science. you will never pursue this as a career. this is it.”
my lab partner was an actual, signed male model (?!), and he sat to my left, pretending to be glued to his phone because he didn't want to admit that he was too squeamish to participate. this meant that i had -- nay, GOT -- to dissect…
friend: hey whats this film called again
me: its raw
gordon ramsey breaking through my window: OH FUCK ME
titane takes everything this does and turns it up a notch, which i thought would make this weaker on a rewatch. but instead i’m only more impressed with how ambitious and thematically dense this is for a directorial debut. love the idea of going to vet school, watching how humans treat other humans like animals in the literal first “hazing” scene, being repulsed at how your classmates just casually eat meat, and being like…well this finger is no different than a meatball, if that’s how this is gonna be. the score being mostly instrumental organs, genius. i love the way ducournau shoots her movies; harsh shadows, bold and bright colors, making skin look meatier than it should. and above all such a unique coming of age story, rebelling against your family only to realize it was in your blood all along, amazing. will always suffer through a stomach ache for julia ducournau 🩸
