Interview with Director Mathieu Turi – French Horror, Influences & the New Wave of French Extreme (Live from NIFFF)
In this exclusive edition of CCC – Current Cinematic Conundrums, the interview format of the Art or Trash Cinema Podcast, Flo sits down with acclaimed French director Mathieu Turi (Hostile, Meander) live at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (NIFFF) 2019.
In this in-depth conversation, we explore Turi’s career path from assistant director on Hollywood productions (Inglourious Basterds, Lucy) to becoming one of the most exciting voices in contemporary French genre cinema. We discuss his creative process, cinematic influences, and what it means to make horror that’s both emotionally intense and visually bold.
A special focus is placed on the New Wave of French Extreme – the brutal and boundary-pushing movement that gave us modern classics like Martyrs, Inside, and High Tension. Turi shares his thoughts on its legacy, its place in film history, and where French horror is headed next.
We also get personal film recommendations from Turi himself – essential viewing for any fan of French horror, psychological thrillers, or arthouse genre cinema.
🎬 This episode is a must for cinephiles, horror lovers, and anyone curious about the minds behind Europe’s most daring cinema.
