Summary

With the Fall movie season in full swing, more and more films are back to being released “exclusively in theaters.” For some there’s a feeling of relief and for others a feeling of trepidation. For the Cut's B.A. Parker, an avid moviegoer and film buff, the return of the big screen means a cautious reunion. Because there’s one film that she felt drawn to -- the French thriller “Titane.” Parker talks with the film’s star Agathe Rousselle about cars, psychopaths, and “whatever French bullshit.” Learn more about your ad choices.

0:54.4	way to pass a rainy day. I mean, I spent six years studying film and then I
1:00.0	taught film as a professor for three years. Movie theaters for me were a
1:05.2	lifeline. I'd go after work or late at night. I'd go for dinner or to force my
1:11.3	friends to see a film I'd already seen twice so I could casually look at their
1:15.0	reactions during very specific scenes. But obviously being a film nerd has not
