Thursday 6th July 2017
Julia Ducournau's debut feature tells the tantalising tale of a young vegetarian's evolving palate for human flesh. Raw is an appetizing mix of seductive thriller and gnawing horror, which is guaranteed to get your taste buds tingling.
Writer and Director Julia Ducournau's coming of age, Raw, is a 'darkly funny' (The Daily Telegraph) 'impossible to forget' (Time Out) psychological thriller available on Digital on 31st July 2017 and on DVD on 14th August 2017, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
Unsuspecting Justine (Garance Marillier) enrolls into veterinary school without the slightest idea that she'd graduate as a fully-fledged carnivore with an insatiable desire for human flesh. This young woman soon pays the price of trying to fit in when she is tempted into a hazing ritual which involves eating a piece of raw meat, thereafter her animalistic desires spiral out of control. Before she knows it Justine has bitten off more than she can chew, and will soon face the terrible consequences of her actions as her true self begins to emerge.
Ducournau's breakthrough French speaking film with English subtitles, Raw, has received award wins at Cannes, Toronto and London Film Festivals.
