    Not for everyone.
    This 2021 Palme D'Or winner is warped, twisted and certainty not for everyone but for those (like me!) will find something very sick and hugely funny in it's body horror portrayal of madness, switched identity and loss.

    Agathe Rousselle is excellent in the lead role-both brave and daring in her gender switched role. And although she looks like a emaciated Dr Lobo in her ' male' phrase she commands the screen.

    Credit should also be given to Vincent Lindon as the bereaved father, his eyes and physical appearance light up the screen every time he is on.

    The ending is gross out funny and it's better than the overrated 'Raw' -Julia Ducournau's previous film; which was too humorless and po faced in it's approach.

    One can't deny how much she gets out of her actors though. She certainty puts them on a journey of self discovery however weird, sick or twisted it may be!

    C'est magnifique
    Fantastic film, absolutely hilarious and one of the weirdest films I've seen for a while. One thing I love about French films is they don't feel the need to explain everything: this reminded me in some ways of Petite Maman and The Five Devils, in that the supernatural elements which drive the plot aren't ultimately given a reason, they just are. Didn't go where I expected it to - if I have a criticism it's how disjointed the two parts of the film are, but then that's also what makes it work. You think you're getting one kind of story and then it's something else. A film that is challenging, fun and compelling.
