2016 | Belgium / France | Julia Ducournau | ★★★★
Julia Ducournau's deceptively smart, unashamedly stylish Raw is a visceral, erotically-charged piece of teen body horror, driven by bravura direction, seductive photography, and the remarkable physical performance of the mesmerising Garance Marillier.

"Featuring and winning at Cannes, Toronto and London Film Festivals (to name a few), Raw is the film that has shocked and delighted audiences and critics alike. Raw follows Justine, a brilliant and promising student. When she starts at veterinary school, she enters a decadent, merciless and dangerously seductive world. During the first week of hazing rituals, desperate to fit in whatever the cost, she strays from her family principles when she eats raw meat for the first time. Justine will soon face the terrible and unexpected consequences of her actions as her true self begins to emerge." Universal Pictures
