Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, TITANE is challenging to describe because it links together so many disparate themes. The plot - Alexia (Agathe Rousselle) pursues her car fetish to unthinkable heights of perversion and, well, parenthood, completely transforming as a human along the way - does not quite do the film justice. Instead, TITANE is more about how contemporary embodiment - in an age of virtual reality and robots - feels. Yet the human portion of all cyborg relations drags machine utopias back down, to a divided culture, to social relations, to repressive social constructions of gender.
