  Most modern crime movies tend to focus on either the psychological aspects (common in serial killer stories) or the procedural elements (especially in heist movies), but this film combines both in a natural way.

  It's always nice to have a crime movie that doesn't force you to root for the cops as the main protagonists.

  The use of the reflections in the shop window was incredible.

  My favorite scene was the trial.

  What is Peter Lorre's face made out of?

  Titane 2021

  This film is more subtle than Raw and it hits more emotional notes. I came into this movie expecting a body horror freak-out but what I got was a careful unraveling of a complex relationship.
  Vincent was a well-drawn character. I wanted to hate him because he's a hardhanded alpha male type, but by the end of the movie I was forced to empathize with him.
  Loved the music choices.
  The hairpin abortion scene made me squirm.
  Cool that Marillier reprises her role as Justine (probably in name only, considering how squeamish she was about having her nipples nearly ripped off). Ducournau Cinematic Universe when?
