JULIA DUCOURNAU

‘If cinema were a world of statutes, of ready-made answers where we try to elicit agreement, it would be a dead art form.’ – Julia Ducournau

Few filmmakers can be considered as fearless and uncompromising as Julia Ducournau. The French director arrived like a hurricane with her visceral feature debut RAW, dismantling everything we know about female adolescence with a pin-sharp understanding of yearning and anger that has a corporeal, bloody impact. She took that visionary mindset – taking care of women’s bodies and hearts onscreen with bruising ambition – and set it on fire with her groundbreaking Palme D’Or-winning follow-up TITANE, which made Ducournau the first woman in history to win the prestigious Cannes award on her own.

To celebrate the arrival of the shapeshifting, dumbfounding feature, we’ve created a JULIA DUCOURNAU t-shirt to honour the terrifyingly good director and her new film – a love story, a body horror, a cyborg odyssey, a masterpiece.
