Titane 2021
Fostering a bleak and hallucinogenic aesthetic and using every inch of it to push its narrative and emotional content forward, it’s hard to pinpoint why Titane feels so natural when its main concern is performing complete, cyberpunk-like fusion between flesh and metal, especially when it’s striving to make the viewer feel as continually discomforted as possible.

If this really is intended to be perceived as an analogy of his career, it's a rather self-deprecating portrait of…
