Needing to take a pill everyday, and being forgetful, means that occasionally in the middle of a coffee date (or let's be honest, hot chocolate date) I find myself reaching into my bag, grabbing my beloved prescription and swallowing the medicine that keeps my mental health on track. Of course, this move intrigues people. Number one, how I can do it without water? Well, I took acne medication for years and a teenager doesn't like leaving their room, not even for a glass of water.

Titane, a wild body-horror thriller written and directed by Julia Ducournau, has won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It makes Ducournau only the second female filmmaker to win the festival's top honour in its 74-year history.

Palme d’Or for one of the most brazen and divisive films to screen in competition in recent years. The manner in which it was announced was equally startling as the ceremony started where it should have ended, with Lee mistakenly announcing the Palme d’Or laureate from the get-go.

Titane, Leos Carax and Caleb Landry Jones are among the winners of the top prizes at Cannes 2021 – scroll down to see the full list of winners.The film festival was held in full and in-person after the coronavirus pandemic meant the 2020 physical edition was unable to go ahead as planned.This year’s Cannes jury was comprised of Spike Lee serving as president, director Mati Diop, musician Mylène Farmer, writer and director Jessica Hausner, actor and director Mélanie Laurent, writer and director Kleber Mendonça Filho, and actors Tahar Rahim, Song Kang-ho and Maggie Gyllenhaal.Titane, directed by Julia Ducournau, took home the Palme d’Or.

The 74th Cannes Film Festival came to an end on Saturday night. It was a sweaty fest full of tourists more interested in the beach than the world premieres and lots of spitting in testing vials for non-Europeans, but it proved that a major festival could return at full capacity during the age of COVID.

We can all stop wishing it a long life: the new flesh is thriving, living rent-free in Julia Ducournau‘s fucked-up titanium brain, oozing from every frame of her bizarrely beautiful, emphatically queer sophomore film, and thence seeping in through your orifices, the better to colonize your most lurid, confusing nightmares, as well as that certain class of sex dream that you’d be best off never confessing to having.

Provocateur Julia Ducournau goes full throttle with Titane, a startling entry into the Cannes competition. While her terrific horror Raw explored gender, power and sexuality via cannibalism, Titane does so with auto(mobile)-erotic symbolism.

The daughter of two doctors who showed their little girl Psycho at the age of eight, filmmaker Julia Ducournau is unapologetically the product of her environment. After her last visit in 2016 with the visceral cannibal horror Raw in Critics’ Week, which caused several audience members to faint when it screened in Toronto, festivalgoers were left reeling by the film’s inspired infusion of blood and gore into the standard rites-of-passage story. Starring Garance Marillier— who made her screen acting debut in Ducournau’s creepy 2011 short Junior—it tells the story of a young veterinary student who develops a craving for human flesh, which leads to a great deal of self-reflection and a doozy of a twist.

After not having a Cannes Film Festival in 2020, obviously due to the pandemic, it appears the French event is making up for lost time with an absolutely stacked lineup of features in 2021. And thankfully, for film fans that aren’t able to make the trip to France right now, the festival has released a bunch of first-look photos for some of our most anticipated features of the festival.
