Raw (2016): Why Shouldn't We Call This A Feminist Horror?!
Ben and Rob bite into Raw (2016), the feature debut of writer-director Julia Ducournau. This French body horror classic follows Justine, a lifelong vegetarian who develops a craving for human flesh during her first year at veterinary school. With visceral imagery, unflinching performances, and gallons of fake blood, Raw made Ducournau one of the most talked-about voices in horror cinema—and proved that cannibalism could be art.
Is Raw a feminist metaphor, a coming-of-age allegory, or just a very stylish nightmare about hunger and identity? Are the scenes involving animals simulated, or is this another European horror with behind the scenes crimes to admit? And is ‘Raw’ all the feminist of a film after all?
