There's a recipe for chicken played on a tape that particularly strikes me here. It narrates the preparation, the rubbing of spices, as a sensual act, one where by the end, the cook is "practically engaged to the chicken". It is this forced engagement by contact that alienates Julie a year after, that she is constantly marked not only for the violent assault, but for the televised trial afterwards.

Titane 2021
Femininity as feral, firey violence; masculinity as docile, watery submission.
