Episode 287 - Raw *Listener's Choice*

No, it's not Eddie Murphy's stand-up film from 1987.  It's way scarier.  French auteur Julia Ducournau presents her first feature, a feminist horror film about a vegetarian girl who develops a peculiar craving after a hazing ritual at college.  This movie caused audience members to faint and vomit (not necessarily in that order) at a screening in Sweden.  It's one of the most disturbing examples of "body horror" around and really pushes the envelope.  Especially for a horror film from a woman's perspective.  These films are a rarity and when they are of this high quality, they should be supported.  But be forewarned, RAW is not for the faint of heart.
