Aurora, a reality TV star, addicted to cosmetic surgery, sees her life disintegrate when her ex humiliates her online. Trapped by the social networks, the influencer then attempts to (re)become herself.
For her second short film, Marion Le Corroller throttles the dictatorship of appearance in the age of social media, with the will to push body horror always further: her mistreatment of flesh is truly painful. Resolutely contemporary, Poupée Fondue sits somewhere between Coralie Forgeat’s satirical gore and Alexis Langlois’ outrageous kitsch.

Margot is a young intern in one of the country's most demanding emergency wards. She must get used to a highly exciting environment. When patients come in with very strange physical symptoms, her own body begins to transform.
Since Julia Ducournau's Raw, body horror is undeniably trendy among women French filmmakers: they use the genre as a metaphor for femininity, and translate, without taboo, their intimate relationship with their bodies, avoiding hygienic idealizations. If Marion Le Corroller’s first feature film echoes the demonstrative exuberance and satirical essence of The Substance, it pushes the concept further in a visceral exploration of flesh, that reminds of Marina de Van’s In My Skin (Dans ma peau). Stylized, generational, organic, and orgasmic.
