Titane

Alexia dances on cars and then has to become someone a firehouse will accept. Ducournau treats the body as a machine that can be rebuilt in public, metal included. Agathe Rousselle plays the impersonation without asking the audience to like it. Vincent Lindon’s captain wants a son back badly enough to agree to the face in front of him. The NEON trailer is the chrome and the siren. The film’s strange tenderness is the station, not the showroom.
