‘Raw’ Trailer Tastes the Delights of Being Human
After screening at next the Sundance Film Festival, writer/director Julia Ducournau’s award-winning psychological horror thriller Raw will open in select cities on Friday, March 10th, 2017; following the movie’s theatrical run, the title will be on digital platforms months later, in the summer.
Our very own Joe Lipsett reviewed the film, explaining that it “perfectly balances horrific and comedic elements.”
A new red band trailer has just been released that shows a young woman’s coming-of-age story in which she tastes all of the delights of humanity, including their flesh.
The dark coming-of-age tale captivated audiences at Cannes, TIFF, London Film Festival, and Fantastic Fest earlier this year, and will continue wowing audiences when it screens at Sundance on January 22nd.
Garance Marillier portrays the teenaged Justine, who commences her studies at veterinary school to follow in her family members’ footsteps. Raised as a vegetarian, Justine is pressured at school to try meat for the first time. Once she does, she plumbs both the depths of her own soul and tests the limits of her darkest cravings.
The Petit Film/Rouge International/FraKas Productions film world-premiered at the 2016 Cannes International Film Festival in the International Critics’ Week section, where it won the FIPRESCI Prize. Produced by Petit Film’s Jean des Forêts, the French-language Raw stars Garance Marillier and is the debut feature from Ms. Ducournau.

You’ll never watch Jaws the same way again. That’s the promise being made by Jaws Explored, an upcoming deep dive documentary that examines the horror classic like never before.
From CreatorVC and director Ian Nathan, Jaws Explored is said to provide “a new way of looking at Spielberg’s classic that will deliver the deepest analysis of Jaws ever made.”
From the producers of The Thing Expanded and the In Search of Darkness series, Jaws Explored is the first in a brand new deep dive format that bears the “Explored” branding.
Jaws Explored is estimated to become available in August 2027, and the documentary can be pre-ordered now exclusively through the CreatorVC website. Now through August 9, you can secure your Blu-ray, the 80-page companion book, and even get your name in the credits.
The team previews, “You already know the stories: the broken shark; the seasick crew; the movie that almost sank. If you want more, this is for you. Jaws Explored is a new way of looking at Spielberg’s classic that will deliver the deepest analysis ever made. We’re gathering the best voices in cinema and stepping into the film itself to unpack what makes a masterpiece.
“Jaws has some great documentaries already. We’ve seen them and we love them, but we want more. Jaws Explored asks different questions: not what happened on set, but instead examining how and why this film has worked so well, for so long. What is Jaws’ true genius? Why do we keep coming back to it again and again? And what does it tell us about ourselves?”
“Together, we’ll go through Jaws moment by moment, stopping to examine what makes each bit special,” the team behind Jaws Explored promises. “Directors and editors weigh in on the significance of a cut, film historians deliver vital context, while psychologists break down why we’re still afraid, even 51 years and many watches later.”
You can pre-order your copy of Jaws Explored right now.
