Julia Ducournau & Agathe Rousselle Talk ‘Titane,’ and Violent Women in Cinema
at the 57th annual York Film Festival. I could see emotion wash over the trio from where I was sitting, as they became overwhelmed by the moment.
“I think my reasoning for continuing to write and explore women in this way is a very grounded reaction. Unfortunately grounded in a reality that men and women do not have the same apprehension of the public space.” What I love about that film is that it does not portray childhood as bliss or the best time of your life, or something innocent. Ana is far from innocent. She’s well aware of all the adult innuendos, and what’s being hidden from her. The way she’s treated like she can’t understand things makes her even angrier.
Deadline: Julia, earlier we talked about empathy but how do you also manage to make your characters redeemable? The film remains at a very physical POV level of her pain. I think this is what guides us somehow to the broadening of her spectrum. Leading us right to the moment the audience sees the first signs of emotion. That is something we can relate to.
