The movie

Justine is a very gifted young woman who comes from a completely vegetarian family and is about to start her veterinarian studies. Like all students do, she must undergo the fresher initiation ritual. Unfortunately for this vegetable-eater, this year’s festivities involve swallowing a raw rabbit kidney. Justine’s life – and diet! – will never be the same again, as she starts discovering her true nature... Julia Ducournau hits the nail on the head with this very cronenbergian first film that mixes a variety of genres. Merging the teen movie with drama, comedy, and cannibalistic horror, Raw is the ideal example of a balanced cinematic diet: start off on a journey of discovery, and then delve into the nightmarish ordeal slowly, irresistibly emerging from the screen. Taste the sex, the love, the pleasures of the flesh, the longing for death and the blood ties in this morally disturbing and uninhibited work of art. Not suitable for vegetarians !
