Titane 2021 is mind blowing.
The film itself truly has many interpretations and meanings, but it really depends on what each person takes from it or how they perceive it. I'm struggling to pinpoint it exactly.
The central element is, of course, the accident she experienced, her attraction to cars, the trauma stemming from it, and her complete detachment from society and reality—I assume?
I'm not sure if it's metaphorical or if it's actually telling us about a woman who went through trauma and suddenly develops an attraction to cars.
What I can understand, though, is the desire to feel connected to something sexually—meaning, to a certain place. Maybe for me, it's the place itself, the fetish around it, but for her, it seems like something truly inseparable from her, which is fascinating.
I heard the director say that you don't need to understand everything when she explained Raw.
What I love about it is that you can't just recommend it to anyone, because they might think you're weird. It requires an open mind and some prior explanation.
Basically, you could write entire essays about its different meanings, but that just pulls you deeper into analyzing them, which can be confusing.
In any case, it requires creative thinking and a lack of shame. I've never seen anything like it.
