Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This is Julia Ducournau's film school thesis, made at La Fémis. She essentially announced her entire career trajectory in 22 minutes.

Insight

Ducournau has called this her 'vagina dentata' film—the monster isn't external, it's the horror of becoming a woman in a body that feels hostile.
