Cannes turns scary midway through its second week, as though the festival’s simmering subtext has suddenly become text. The punters are barely recovering from Petrov’s Flu when Titane sends them into a vertical, white-knuckle relapse. How to explain Julia Ducournau’s deranged body horror? Well, it’s about a scarred, serial-killing model (Agathe Rouselle) who copulates with a Cadillac before posing as the adult version of Vincent Lindon’s long-lost missing son. And if that sounds confusing, be warned that the film is barely revving up. Titane blows out the levels in its crazed opening third and then rides the crescendo right through to a flame-out finale.
