RAW (2016)
RAW is the debut feature film of French director Julia Ducournau and is a “coming of age horror film.” It revolves around a young girl named Justine (Garance Marillier), a lifelong vegetarian, starting her first semester of veterinary school. She is disciplined, having never eaten meat her entire life…until a hazing ritual requires her to ingest rabbit flesh. This moment is pivotal and incites intense cravings for flesh in Justine. Perhaps this is metaphorical, representing the horrors of changing, growing, and being on your own for the first time in life. There’s just one problem…Justine is craving human flesh. This film is not one for the weak, as it can be quite graphic. I highly recommend it to those who are interested in psychological thrillers or horrors. Julia Ducournau’s first film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Above all else, Raw’s music score is brilliant and on-point with subtle menacing undertones in the cinematography that put a chill in your spine.
