help Raw FAQ
What triggers Justine's change in Raw?
Justine is a vegetarian veterinary student who is pressured into eating raw rabbit kidney during a hazing ritual. After that, Julia Ducournau's 2016 film follows her escalating craving for meat and then human flesh.
Is Raw connected to Julia Ducournau's Titane?
Raw is not a story sequel to Titane, but both films are by Julia Ducournau and use body horror to explore identity and desire. Raw came first in 2016, while Titane won the Palme d'Or in 2021.
Who plays Justine in Raw?
Garance Marillier plays Justine. Ella Rumpf plays her older sister Alexia, whose role becomes crucial as Justine learns that her appetite is not isolated.
Why is the veterinary school setting important in Raw?
The school setting puts animal bodies, medical training, and student initiation rituals directly into the plot. That makes Justine's cannibalism feel tied to biology, family, and social pressure rather than a random monster twist.
