Drama Horror

Justine, raised as a rigorous vegetarian, arrives as a freshman at the reputable Saint-Exupéry Veterinary School. As she leaves the family home, Justine abruptly moves into a mad new world of strange school traditions and vicious initiation tests, and before long, she must chew over her unshakable herbivorous beliefs. More and more, as Justine descends deeper and deeper into a hidden world of uncharted animalistic tendencies, an unprecedented and equally morbid craving for meat will transform her into a very different being, but now that her corporeal awakening is finally complete, is there a point in denying her hunger for raw flesh?

Parent Guide

Violence includes intimidating, forceful hazing and trashing of rooms. A woman resists unwanted groping. A trucker intimidates another man through physical contact. Justine, a vegetarian, submits to coercion and eats a raw rabbit kidney, but this is not depicted in a gross manner. One character presses a ski pole to another's head, considering killing her.

Human gore includes the severing of a finger, showing the wound and oozing blood. More than one person bites others on various body parts, producing blood and leaving scars, sometimes eating a little. We see a little blood dripping from a nose. A male corpse is seen without clothes. A man removes his shirt, showing large but long-since-healed scars all over his chest and stomach.

Gore involving animals includes large laboratory specimens bottled in liquid and the chewing of raw fish. In an un-simulated scene, a woman has inserted her gloved arm into a cow's rectum (seen). As she withdraws it, globs of feces fall out of the rectum. A dog licks at a pool of human blood, but we only see the top of its head. In veterinary labs, we see dead dogs and partly dissected cows. A student begins to dissect a dead dog, but we only see a thin line of red flesh.

Seen from behind, two women pee standing up, with a visible urine flow. We see skin adjacent to the vulva (not seen) pulled painfully during a waxing.

During a sex scene, a woman tries to bite a man's arm. She instead bites her own arm and sucks on it, which begins to bleed.

Some extremely graphic gory images and detail of injury including a finger being bitten off and eaten. Lots of graphic cannibalism.

During a party scene, a woman licks a man's eye, very graphic but depicted as part of the background.

The central theme of the film revolves around Justine, a vegetarian, who gradually discovers her cannibalistic tendency after she is forced to consume meat.

The strongest scene depicts the main character nibbling on a human finger, leaving behind blood stains around her mouth.
