(2017) A French cannibal horror film has a surprisingly feminist message. Using Lacanian discourse theory, and specifically Lacan’s fifth discourse on capitalism, I assess the film’s gloomy meditation on the dehumanizing, anti-social, and dissatisfying nature of hypermodernity with its imperatives to enjoy a seemingly endless supply of object-commodities, and explore what the film articulates about contemporary modes of dealing with jouissance and the implications for the woman subject.Īdams, P.

“Non-rapport” is Lacan’s term for the real, non-representable gap at the heart of sexual relationships and is what causes discourses which delimit social bonds and modes of enjoyment ( jouissance). This paper assesses the themes of spectatorship, consumption, womanhood, sublimation, jouissance, and sexual non-rapport elicited by the film. The film is an unsettling account of a young woman whose subjective emergence into cannibalism occurs in a sadistic world of “Dionysian excess” at university. The French film Raw (2016), written and directed by Julia Ducournau, has received critical acclaim as a contemporary female coming-of-age horror film with feminist and critically reflective leanings.
