Titane is a head trip. It's a cross between the 1977 film Demon Seed and David Cronenberg's Crash - I will translate my own film geek nomenclature for you - a woman gets impregnated by a car. Yes, that's correct, a car. Then she goes on a random killing spree and then changes her appearance to evade police and pretends to be a man's long lost son. If that sounds bizarre, it is. For those of you who like to be challenged, who like films that push boundaries, movies which leave you asking, "What was that?" Titane is the movie for 2021 to do the job. How strange are we talking? Think Under the Skin, Santa Sangre, or Wild at Heart strange. It is about sexuality, identity, toxic masculinity, violence, mutation - lots of moving parts and stunning visuals. It's violent, grotesque, and it will haunt you long after you have stopped watching. It is one of the most interesting films of 2021. Catch it in theatres or on streaming services.
