Really one of the most fascinating films from these last 10 years, I couldn't get my eyes away from the screen even though what was on it was quite jarring to watch This is due to the hypnotizing presence of Garance Marillier who fucks hard, the hauting music of Jim Williams which is one of my very favorite horror movie score and the brilliant directing of Ducournau. Like idk how to explain it but each scene makes me feel something new, it feels like watching something I'm not supposed to watch but it's so fascinating at the same time. There are brilliant long shots in crowded room with gorgeous lightning, there are moments that slows down a bit too much to make you feel uneasy, and other moments when music screams at you and the editing forces you to close-up shots of Garance Marillier pulling hairstrings from her mouth I don't think it's just a gore-y movie, I think it talks about peer pressure and how does a coming-of-age story works in a toxic environment. It's also surprisingly talking about family, and what we gain from them and how to escape it maybe ??? Pêle-mêle moments that I like : the first time when she eats her sister's finger and she starts by licking the blood and then it starts dripping on the floor and she shuffles the finger in her mouth like it's a reflex and i find this terrifying. The really weird background characters like the nurse who tells that fucked up story and the old man at the hospital with his fake teeth. That final shot which traumatized me probably for life
