Raw Movie 2016 [work]

Ducournau's direction is characterized by a keen sense of atmosphere and mood, drawing inspiration from the works of David Lynch and Luis Buñuel. Her use of long takes and close-ups creates a sense of intimacy and immediacy, drawing the viewer into the world of the film.

In one of the film’s most iconic sequences, Justine discovers that her cannibalism is linked to desire. She cannot resist tearing into a boy’s flesh during a moment of intimacy. The Raw movie 2016 collapses the line between lust and hunger. To want someone, in Ducournau’s world, is to want to devour them—literally. It is a radical, unsettling take on the phrase “skin hunger.” raw movie 2016
