Day 22 of Best Films of the 2010s Raw (2016)


I really enjoyed Raw a lot. It is a Belgian horror comedy and was delightfully macabre with a great use of color a la Italian giallo films. The story is about a young and nervous veterinary student who is forced to eat raw meat during a hazing ritual, and she changes from a reserved vegetarian to craving the bloodiest forms of flesh. I loved how the lead actress, Garance Marillier, had this remarkable ability to convey both an average, everyday appearance with a disturbingly beautiful quality as she becomes more ravenous with hunger for flesh. It was a film I was meaning to watch for a long time, and I am happy I saw it.
