Navigating an Eco-Material Apocalypse with TITANE (France/Belgium 2021)

Abstract
Embedded in petromodernity and the automotive industry, our history is permeated by fossil and metallic materialities. Chemical traces cling to the corpse, the living and the not yet born, indexing the interconnectedness between them, between the earthly and the mechanical. With the figure of the pregnant posthuman (Rodante van der Waal), the paradigm of placenta politics (Rosi Braidotti), and the concept of systemic crisis (Laurent Berlant), the film TITANE (Julia Ducournau) shows the ecological, technological, and social world in an apocalyptic dance of pulsating endurance.
