Raw (2016) is a French horror film that has been praised for its exploration of sexuality and its frank depiction of female sexuality. The film follows Justine, a young woman who is starting her first year of veterinary school. She is a vegetarian and is initially repulsed by the idea of eating meat, but as she progresses through her studies, she begins to develop a taste for it.
The film is filled with sexual moments, from the opening scene where Justine is seen masturbating to the intense scenes of her consuming raw meat. The film also features a number of explicit sex scenes, including a threesome between Justine, her sister Alexia, and a male student. These scenes are used to explore the complexities of female sexuality and to challenge the traditional notions of what is considered “normal”.
The film also features a number of dream sequences, which are used to explore Justine’s inner desires and her struggle to reconcile her sexual desires with her moral beliefs. These sequences are often quite graphic and are used to illustrate the power of female sexuality.
Overall, Raw (2016) is a powerful exploration of female sexuality and the complexities of desire. The film is not for the faint of heart, but it is an important and thought-provoking look at the power of female sexuality.
