The deal was negotiated by NEON’s Jeff Deutchman with Eva Diederix from Wild Bunch International and CAA Media Finance. “Titane” is being produced by Jean Christophe Reymond (Kazak Productions). With the hip distributor behind her latest effort, “Titane” is sure to launch the filmmaker to even higher (and well-deserved) heights. The distributor will also release Celine Sciamma’s “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” this year, the sensuous Cannes winner that is being pushed for France’s pick for Oscar submission. Der Film handelt von der jungen Studentin Justine, die nach Jahren der vegetarischen Ernhrung Appetit auf Fleisch bekommt, der bald. Er ist das Spielfilm debt der franzsischen Regisseurin Julia Ducournau, die auch das Drehbuch verfasste. Not much is known about the mysterious follow-up, “Titane,” but Ducournau is in good company at Neon. Raw (Originaltitel Grave) ist ein franzsisch - belgischer Body-Horror -Film aus dem Jahr 2016. (Like the father of body horror, David Cronenberg.) Shrewdly using the art-horror format to upend the traditional teen Bildungsroman, “Raw” makes it impossible to look away - as much as you might want to.” In IndieWire’s B+ review of the film, this critic wrote: “Female sexuality carries the same taboo as a ravenous flesh-eating teenager in this provocative feature debut… Ducournau tears down the walls of a genre so often identified with male filmmakers.
‘Robot Dreams’ Review: Neon’s Bittersweet Animated Buddy Comedy Glistens As Justine’s hunger for consuming meat grows, so does her desire for other pleasures of the flesh. A longtime vegetarian, Marillier’s Justine is forced to consume meat for the first time during a revolting hazing ritual, and is shocked to discover how much she likes the taste of flesh. “Raw” follows a young student (Garance Marillier) who discovers some uncomfortable truths about herself (and the world) when she heads off to vet school. “Raw” became one of the most talked about horror films of the year, as audiences went gaga for Ducournau’s provocative feminism and David Cronenberg-esque style. “Raw” grossed $3 million worldwide, an impressive feat for a small art-horror from a first-time filmmaker. The filmmaker burst onto the scene with the 2017 release of “Raw,” which won the coveted FIPRESCI prize for its debut at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival before hitting theaters. Though plot details are being kept under wraps, powerhouse indie distributor Neon has acquired North American rights to “Titane,” the second feature film to be written and directed by Ducournau. The brilliant mind behind “ Raw,” the most soulful cannibalistic body horror of recent memory, has been hard at work on her second film.
