Julia Ducournau’s utterly unique horror didn’t win last year’s Palme d’Or for nothing, you know. The judges in Cannes know brilliance when they see it, and Ducournau’s 2nd feature is a masterclass in fearless, visionary filmmaking. The story of Alexia who, following a car crash as a child, has a titanium plate fitted into her head, is game-changing stuff; provocative, intensely original & deliciously disturbing. Mesmerising moviemaking.
