Our TV movie pick for tonight (Saturday, 19 April) is Titane, the 2021 French psychological horror drama that is easily one of the best films of the decade so far.
Written and directed by Julia Ducournau (Raw), the story centres around Alexia (played as an adult by a striking Agathe Rousselle in her feature debut) - a murderous car model and dancer who is fixated with automobiles after a childhood accident.
Pregnant and on the run for her crimes, she evades detection by pretending to be the grown-up version of a boy who disappeared ten years previously.
She then winds up seeking refuge with the missing child's firefighter father, Vincent (French acting legend Vincent Lindon).
Co-starring Garance Marillier (Raw), Titane premiered at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, where it won the top prize. The movie also currently holds a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score.
It's easy to see why the film is so acclaimed. The combination of Ducouranau's visceral direction and her impossible to predict screenplay - which uses body horror as a way to explore themes of gender, identity, love and transformation - makes for a truly unforgettable watch.
Be warned, however, Titane is filled with gory, often surreal violence - so it's not for the faint of heart.
Titane is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on Film4 at 1.50am. It should also be available to stream on Channel 4's website after it airs.
