The group elaborated on its themes including the horror of the human body, family, trauma and LGBTQ+ cinematic narratives (textual and subtextual). Ducournau’s first movie, Raw (2016), functions simultaneously as a cannibalistic body horror and a coming-of-age drama. Naturally, she followed this up with the Palme d’Or winner Titane, another body horror film that transitions into a touching drama about gender, sexuality and chosen family. Adrien experiences a model of both healthy and toxic masculinity in the father of his adopted persona, Vincent (Vincent Lindon). At the conclusion of the film, as Adrien gives birth with the caring assistance of Vincent, a harmonious relationship between flesh and machine is finally realized.
