Nightmarish Trailer For LFF Winner Raw

Sometimes film promotion can be as audacious and artful as the finished product. This is very much in the case with the brand new UK trailer for Raw; director Julia Ducournau’s disturbingly original take on the coming-of-age tale, laden with sinister, sordid, and psychosexual twists.

Impressing hugely on the festival circuit – including winning the prestigious Sutherland Award at the BFI London Film Festival, and the FIPRESCI Prize at Festival de Cannes – this is unquestionably one of 2017’s most vital foreign imports. Thanks to the good folks at Universal Pictures UK, we can present to you the unflinching Red Band trailer, but be warned, it is not for the feint of heart…

Everyone in Justine’s family is a vet. And a vegetarian. At 16, she’s a brilliant and promising student. When she starts at veterinary school, she enters a decadent, merciless and dangerously seductive world. During the first week of hazing rituals, desperate to fit in whatever the cost, she strays from her family principles when she eats raw meat for the first time. Justine will soon face the terrible and unexpected consequence of her actions as her true self begins to emerge…

Starring Garance Marillier, Ella Rumpf and Rabah Naït Oufella, Raw opens in UK cinemas on 7th April, 2017.
