Titane (2021) - Julia Ducournau.

This exhilarating, perversely polymorphic, brutally executed Ballardian Body horror, and its tantalisingly tormented, vividly imagined protagonist Alexia/Adrien (Agathe Rousselle) exudes a uniquely sinister exoticism! Often cruel, and strikingly strange, I found Titane to be an unexpectedly erotic experience, frequently imagining Alexis making mad love with the very same intensity that she so gorily dispatched her unsuspecting victims! More mythical beast of ancient lore than prosaic serial killer, her detached, alien demeanour powerfully suggestive of a devastatingly duplicitous Kelpie, or a quite literally steel thewed Siren. Beyond good and evil, repulsed by oily dipsticks, misanthropic mecha-matriarch Alexia is drawn magnetically to sleekly metallic body work, relishing the pounding proximity of throbbingly virile V8's, a delicious torment, wherein violent sexual congress, and sanguineous death-throes are exquisitely conjoined. It feels like a maternity since I last enjoyed a turbocharged, titanically twisted terror trip like Julia Ducournau's Science-friction'd phantasmagoria Titane!
