Cannibal film Raw is not meant to make you sick

"That's a shame," sighs its director Julia Ducournau as she glances at a recent article about a screening in Los Angeles.

"It clearly doesn't do justice for my movie, which is not a barf fest. I think it's very reductive."

The film, out in the UK this week, tells the story of a vegetarian student, Justine (Garance Marillier), who eats raw meat for the first time during a blood-soaked "hazing ceremony" for new recruits at veterinary school.
