Do not rely on the first impression: behind her glam rock mannequin tunes and her apparent modesty, Julia Ducournau is the most turbulent revelation of the beginning of the year.

At the age of 33, this Femis graduate signed a first dazzling film, "Grave", which electrified the Cannes Film Festival and made America tremble. A mixture of teenage and horror films, this portrait of two cannibal sisters plunges us into a gory and sensual delirium, halfway between David Cronenberg's visual experiments and the world of Sofia Coppola. The future of French cinema is perhaps played out here. And he has fangs.

Her film "Grave" in cinemas tomorrow tells the story of 16-year-old Justine, who joined the veterinary school in her first year, as well as her older sister Alexia and their parents who did it before. On the spot, she will discover hazing and other humiliating episodes. Vegetarian, she will be forced to eat meat. Since then, she will have an overbearing and insatiable appetite that drives her to consume raw meat, and human flesh when possible.
