This episode, we're taking on a real brain-bender: the French film "Titane"'; a whirlwind of sex, death, cars, and a whole heap of existential questions. The movie is a tough cookie, but MAYA MURPHY and I here to break it down and make it all a bit simpler for you. Together we’ll explore the layers of this challenging but rewarding yet deeply f***ed up film. Trust me, there’s more than just the hyperviolence, graphic nudity and car sex surface to uncover. So buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a journey through the bizarre and beautiful chaos that is "Titane."Takeaways: The film 'Titane' explores complex themes of identity, sexuality, and the nature of humanity through its unique narrative. The lead character's relationship with cars serves as a metaphor for deeper emotional connections and societal taboos around sexuality. Despite its shocking elements, 'Titane' ultimately reveals a story about acceptance, love, and the struggle for identity in a harsh world. Understanding 'Titane' requires looking beyond its surface-level provocations to appreciate its artistic commentary on life and human experience.

[Currently Streaming on Shudder]Did you love it?
