Director Julia Ducournau on Raw & Shooting the Gore
One of the many films to play at this year’s Sundance Film Festival wasRaw. The feature debut of writer-directorJulia Ducournau, the film follows Justine (Garance Marillier) as sheenters veterinary college and is forced to deal with the school’s brutal hazing rituals.
