First Official UK Trailer for Julia Ducournau's 'Alpha' with Tahar Rahim

"If something happens to you, it happens to me." Curzon Film in the UK has unveiled an official trailer for the film Alpha, the third feature film directed by French filmmaker Julia Ducournau after making Raw and Titane before this. It's opening in UK cinemas in November, but we're still waiting for Neon to set the actual US release. Something seemingly innocuous sends a teenager's world into turmoil. Filmed in the city of Le Havre, Alpha, 13, is a troubled teenager who lives alone with her mother. Their world comes crashing down the day she comes home from school with a tattoo on her arm, leading her Maman to believe she has contracted a new disease going around. The film is based on Ducournau's upbringing during the AIDS/HIV crisis in the 1980s. Starring Mélissa Boros as the young Alpha, Tahar Rahim as Amin, Alpha's junkie uncle, Golshifteh Farahani as her mother, Emma Mackey, Finnegan Oldfield, Louai El Amrousy, and others. After premiering at Cannes and other fests, unfortunately this is regarded by many as one of the biggest let downs of the year - despite an interesting setup, the film doesn't amount to much at all. Oh well. // Continue Reading ›
