The Palme d’Or-winning writer-director of Raw and Titane’s third feature is the fable-like tale of Alpha, a troubled 13-year-old who  lives with her single mom. But their world collapses the day she returns from school with a tattoo on her arm. With Golshifteh Farahani and Tahar Rahim.

“Feels destined to become a cult classic…Ducournau has completed quite the trifecta when it comes to portraying the horrors of being a woman.” - Vogue

And don't miss Julia Ducournau: Carte Blanche, a program of four personal favorites curated by the ALPHA filmmaker herself.
